12. I sure know how you feel. My husband had a super-close call in Iraq;

He worked at the TOC in Baquoba, and one night while I was monitoring newsfeeds for the ICC, there was a breaking lede that the TOC in Baquoba had been mortared; 5 US killed.

I knew my husband was on duty that night at the TOC.

It took us 3 days to get the names of those 5 killed. None were my husband, thank God! (but all were people we'd known)

I will never EVER forget the hell of those 3 days. And I will never EVER forgive bush, his Cartel, and his Goddamned rightwingnut war mongering bastards for it.

I was lucky; my husband made it back safe & soundish; how the family members who haven't been so lucky manage to get through each day is a monument to their internal strength. And the same with all the Iraqi families.

And meanwhile, bush laughs and parties and struts around.

If you need someone to rant to, cry to, ANYTHING, private message me anytime. :pals:
