I wonder right now how many of the 150,000 College Young Republicans have gone down to the strip mall, found arecruitment center and swore out an oath to the flag.
I wonder how many children our Congressmen and women have in theatre right now.
I wonder how many mothers are crying. These 15 men were someone’s brother, someone’s father, someone’s son, someone’s husband, someone’s cousin, someone’s uncle, someone’s friend. While the wingnuts are stroking themselves at the thought of war and domination, Americans are dying.
I wonder where the hostage are.
