However, it would be easier to ignore the international bad press so much if I didn't agree with a lot of it.eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435132755332951836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092297.post-1158112393271394882006-09-12T21:53:00.000-04:002006-09-12T21:53:00.000-04:00I had taken the morning off to go to the dentist. ...I had taken the morning off to go to the dentist. While I sat in the chair the dentist kept disappearing while working on my mouth; he went out to his car to listen to his short-wave radio. When it came time to work on my tooth he had the drill in one hand and his ear to the radio, stalling for time, not wanting to begin drilling so as to not drown out the news report. He finally said he didn't want to be at work (working on my teeth, precisely) he wished he could go home. As I sat there with my mouth open I thought he would never begin drilling. It wasn't until I got home did I get a change to see on the TV what was going on. It was live and it was shocking and devastating. I called work and told my boss I was not coming in; it was just as well, they sent everyone home for security reasons since we are a Federal facility. No one was sure if it was safer to be on the roads or at work where we could be a possible target.Mrs. Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134837480445134008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092297.post-1158084958211157312006-09-12T14:15:00.000-04:002006-09-12T14:15:00.000-04:00I like how everyone gripes that we squandered the ...I like how everyone gripes that we squandered the world's goodwill towards us after 9/11 when even the French beat their chest and proudly proclaimed, "We Are All Americans!"<BR/><BR/>Everyone's an American as long as we're getting our nuts bashed in. As soon as we rear up and begin to open up a case of the vengance whoopass, everybody starts going soft on us and gets weak in the knees.<BR/><BR/>Granted, I'm with you on the whole foolish sideshow in Iraq, but even if we had pulverized bin Laden and his smelly goat herders into a million little pieces with a couple of JADMS, people would still have found reason to find fault with us.<BR/><BR/>That's why I don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about what others think of me.Jinxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004967151492192589noreply@blogger.com
