Iraq series

Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on 5/1/2011, almost 2 years after fighting returned to Afghanistan to target the Taliban (who originally protected Bin Laden after the twin towers fell on 9/11/2001). Early on, critics charged Bush with going to war in Iraq to finish--by killing Saddam Hussain--what his presidential father started and to secure access to gas resources. With both men gone, I don't feel any more secure.

9-11 series

Watching that first attack on American soil (since Pearl Harbor) constantly repeated on every news channel brought tears to my eyes; it still does. We're back on our feet now and the fighting continues abroad 15 years later. Is it time to "Rethink Everything"?
