I grieved, in my own way, by posting a tribute to a single 9/11 victim on my blog. And then, tonight, I heard the last few minutes of George Bush's address to the nation. My grief turned to rage as I heard that son-of-a-bitch spin his web of lies into a message intended to frighten us, make us forget his role in the state this world is in, and try to generate support for his mean-spirited and utterly irrational response to the world.
The people who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks were victims of madmen reacting to their perception of the West. The people who are dying in the battles of today's world are victims of those same madmen, made more powerful by the cruel and stupid actions of another madman.
