: One month has passed. It seems an eternity.

: Over here, in the USA, we were traumatized. The resulting bonding & patriotism has been a good, and healing, thing. We now wage war ... and we will win ... I feel we'll win decisively. That too will be a good, and healing, thing. The words mean what they say.

: I am not naive enough to believe the rest of the world will all view it as such. I know different parts of the world will view things from different points of view. Understandable. I do believe most will, though, view it as a good thing. Certainly, I hope so.

: As I said the other day, today I am proud of who we are. Very proud.

: Stay cool, folks - all opinions are welcome, but be cool.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well said, Rich...well said. I have been biting my tongue until it bleeds. Thanks for saying this...............it has saved me from permanent damage!

I do find it interesting that anytime someone "over there" gets in a bind economically, militarily, or whatever....who do they come to for help? Uh-huh...you bet! But, yet, some of those who have historically been the benefactors of the most generous aid are the first to spew venom. I guess that's human nature...or something.

Pax aye!
