I think I am as proud to be American as I have ever been. It seems some people can't remember back to September 11 , when we all saw that the unthinkable can happen. I'm sure that more unthinkable ,horrific events are coming in the near future. Some here in the USA and some other places in the world. Maybe where you are, Janet. Who will you look to for help when your friends and neighbors are slaughtered? Sadaam or Ossama? I didn't vote for Bush, but I am damn glad that he is the one who's there during all this.
