Haunted

I thought I was done writing this blog. I thought Jordan was behind me. I was so wrong. I completely "lost it" last night.
I was at a high school football game, Valley Christian vs, Pittsburg High, a student sang the Star Spangled Bannner. It is
hard for me to reconcile what I saw in Jordan, (refugees) and what we are doing in Iraq, with my nice life here in the USA.
How do I not think about all the people we are killing and maiming in the name of Operation Iraqi Freedom? How can I not
see the faces of the women and children that can no longer live in their homeland? Do Americans give a damm at all? Why
are we spending so much to kill people? Why arent' we spending the money here? I need to not think.
