Anniversary

Today is the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq. I was thinking something to post in my blog for this occasion, without being any pathetic. I don't find a way, so i will just leave a link to a post by Angela that explains enough well my feeling about it, although it is about a completely different story.

Rowena said...: I haven't kept myself informed on the exact date of the beginning of all the trouble and am surprised that you even remembered it. I'm more interested in the stratospheric costs that continue to accumulate while the US economy continues to slide down into the rabbit hole. See the following link to get an idea of HOW MUCH we're talking about.
