. I was in the building when the plane hit.

Compared to some people, I was lucky: I wasn't injured. I kept my job. I got home easily. But compared to the vast majority of Americans, I am a victim. I had glass in my hair. I lost a year's work, and some irreplaceable items. My family went crazy for a while. My kid had nightmares. You explain to a 5 year old why (in his words) "They crashed into the building on purpose?" or reply to "I thought pilots were good people".

But I am a victim another way.

I share part of this other victimhood with all Americans. I am a victim, not of terror, but of the so-called `war on terror'. I am a victim of a government that is out-of-control. I am a victim of crushing national debt. I am a victim because I live in a country that went from having the sympathy of the world to one that is a pariah, an outcast among nations, a rogue state. I am a victim because I now have to `watch what I say'. I am a victim because my rights are violated, not by some nebulous and inimical group of terrorists, but by my own government.

McCain, Palin and their neoconster buddies have managed to go lower than the lowest layer of sewage in the vast septic tank that IS the GOP.

Please spread this -- everywhere, to everyone you know and to all those who need to know but won't unless you make it happen.

Thank you,
Bob

4. I'm almost 60.

I feel like I'm living in the country that I was told to be afraid of when I was a child.

[understandinglife]

6. I am 61 & you are.

That is how far into the pit of evil the neoconsters have driven our Nation.

We must stop them. Now.

[FiveGoodMen]

26. Precisely!

Especially if you look at what the HLS-controlled cops are doing in my home (twin) cities.

9. We are all victims of 9/11. After all, we were all the target --

not of the planes, of course, but of everything that followed from it.

Shock and awe.

19. Thank you Bob for sharing this story-especially this part.

I share part of this other victimhood with all Americans. I am a victim, not of terror, but of the so-called `war on terror'. I am a victim of a government that is out-of-control.

[understandinglife]

23. Yes. A cogent assessment of the many horrors Bush & the neconsters have perpetrated.

Thank you,
Bob

22. I was there too.

I was in the North Tower having just arrived from NJ on the next to last PATH train to get to the WTC. I saw enough people jump out of windows to their death that day than I ever will be likely to forget. Aside from the sight of the second plane crashing into the South Tower right across the street from where I was walking trying to get away from the nightmare going on in the North Tower. It was at this point that I thought that all of us there were going to die, debris flew in every direction.

So, I deeply resent anyone using 9/11 for political purposes (as Giuliani did and still does) and that goes for both parties.

[understandinglife]

24. I agree. Thank you for sharing your story.

Peace,
Bob
