I joined DU shortly after the US invaded Iraq.

I joined Twitter during the Green revolution in Iran. I'm Canadian and I wanted to see and hear first-hand accounts of the shit going down. Today feels like the shit is going down. I have that same ominous, gut wrenching feeling, this time it's for our American friends right in their hometowns.
