The ninth of April is my birthday...
Advertisements [?]
September 11 is my sisters birthday. I remember on 9/11 trying to make her 40th a festive occasion as partygoers could not get their eyes from the tube, me included. I worked across the street from the TransAmerica Pyramid in San Francisco and felt especially vulnerable. While I was totally against the war in Iraq, feeling that the motivation for it was based on a lie ten years in the making, when the Statue of Saddam came down in Baghdad and it "appeared" the people were celebrating on my birthday, , I thought it was a gift to me in my grief that the war was illegal. I briefly thought the Iraqis actually wanted us there. That was my delusion and I know better as must the world as we are committing a crime and killing indiscriminately as we set the law in THEIR country. Our birthdays will never be the same.
