Here's a reminder of what Bush threw away after 9-11...

"did anyone say they were sorry about 9/11?" when the subject of crimes against humanity by the US in Iraq comes up? The very least America should do is turn everyone responsible for the attrocities in Iraq over to the International Criminal Court up to including Rumsfeld and Bush.

"About two hours ago the junior officers were called to the bridge to conduct Shiphandling drills. We were about to do a man overboard when we got a call from Lutjens (D 185), a German warship that was moored ahead of us on the pier in Plymouth, England.

"While in port, Winston S. Churchill and Lutjens got together for a sports day/cookout on our fantail, and we made some pretty good friends. Now at sea they called over on bridge-to-bridge, requesting to pass us close up on our port side, to say goodbye. We prepared to render them honors on the bridge wing, and the captain told the crew to come topside to wish them farewell.

"As they were making their approach, our conning officer ... announced that they were flying an American flag. As they came even closer, we saw that it was flying at half-mast. The bridge wing was crowded with people as the Boatswain's Mate blew two whistles — Attention to Port."

Lutjens "came up alongside and we saw that the entire crew of the German ship were manning the rails, in their dress blues. They had made up a sign that was displayed on the side that read "We Stand By You". Needless to say there was not a dry eye on the bridge as they stayed alongside us for a few minutes and we cut our salutes. It was probably the most powerful thing I have seen in my entire life and more than a few of us fought to retain our composure.

Kerry really needs to use that imagery in his ad campaign...

Show the world support that Bush has lost.

I mentioned these images from 9/11 and posed the question, can you imagine any country or its citizens reacting that way about our contry today? A rhetorical question, as the answer is obviously "no."

There are many more such images not included on that page, such as Arafat donating blood.

This link will go out to everyone I know.
:cry:

A couple of people who told me 'Take your "The world grieved with us (after 9-11)" and shove it.... The world did not grieve with us. For the most part the "World" stood and said, "It's about time you got yours." '

How quickly people forget... this guy is a very thoughtful, typically moderate conservative.

It's interesting how so many people can be almost brainwashed by an administration. On Meet The Press today Russert had a poll that showed 44% of DEMOCRATS believed that Kerry was a "Flip Flopper".

Democrats better be aware, they are not gonna stop, REMEMBER DEMS THEY HAVE THE PRESS.

We have the worst pResident ever sitting in the WH, and we must evict him at all costs.

He threw it all away

I'd forgotten - perhaps intentionally forgotten - about all the goodwill shown the US, even from many we would call our enemies - after 9-11

(intentionally forgotten only because it makes me so sad to remember how much support we had, and how much our treasonous criminal in chief, who should be impeached, then court-martialed, then tried at the hague, then have his welath, and that of his entire family, stripped away and given to African-American sharecropping families, and then he and his family be given life in prison on public display that they might be ridiculed by the very world they scorned and laughed at and insulted in the most egregious manners possible, the criminal wastes)

The outpouring was complete and genuine.

Just one example of the feeling - on 9-11, two women from our NGO were out shopping. They saw the footage of the first tower burning on a tv in the window of an electronics store. They began to panic. Instantly, from the passing crowds on the street appeared motherly women to hug and comfort them. Men and boys formed a protective cordon around them, and escorted them back to our lodgings. By the time they arrived, they were a crowd of several hundred complete with police escorts - and they were singing a song of unity.

Passers-by on the street, singing and crying in sympathy and empathy, themselves having known devastation and tragedy.

set up new office space in the days after, were the images on cnn.com and other sites of all the outpouring of goodwill from other countries, and the outpouring of goodwill here in NYC. And that was my only consolation, because I knew that our Lying Criminal Psychopath In Chief couldn't give a goddamn about the safety of the NYC, or of the US, or of anything else besides making his evil cabal blowbuddies "like him" or some kind of teenage mentality bullshit like that.

I know that one major reason I was so terrified after the attacks was my utter lack of faith in the ability of our unelected Latino Maturbator Wannabe In Training.

The goodwill is gone until we do the right thing.

And doing the right thing will be very, very hard.

... played 'God Bless America' in place of their national anthem? I think it was during a changing of the guard ceremony.
