After reading a few of the entries on Riverbend’s Blog I have to say I feel dirty after it. I can honestly say it makes me sick that there are Iraqi citizens that live in that horror and, in fact, are giving up there homes for an uncertain future because of the havoc and ruin we, as Americans, have brought to their country. And for what? I know there are arguments over weapons of mass destruction versus oil but sadly I must say I am woefully ignorant of the intracacies that started all this. I can’t imagine reversing our roles, having myself in her situation while she is carefree and ignorant. And on top of that I find that I have a great amount of respect for this woman who freely posts her thoughts and critques the worlds “superpower” and the mistakes that have been made. I don’t know that if I was in her situation I would be of such a strong character to do what she is doing, not only living with the terror that she is, but writing about it and letting the world know.
