109. I watched 9/11 from my roof, all I feel today is disgust and want to throw up

Edited on Mon May-02-11 05:31 PM by firehorse

I'm repulsed by the faux patriotism disguised as revenge but really is populist nationalism. Living in NYC, also not looking forward to living in a target zone.

6000 dead troops have just been reduced into a faux sporting event - is this the end of the game or just the touch down before half time. The whole spectator sport aspect of this reminds me of gladiator deaths in roman colluseums, -- entertainment for the masses -- troops and innocent lives as gladiators.

I'm sure the Hollywood remake starring Tom Cruise, will be a blockbuster. Thanks but no thanks.
