Today: SHOCK AND AWE DAY, 6th anniversary bombing of Baghdad. What are you doing?

[L. Coyote]

I will attend a protest, one that has been held EVERY DAY since the invasion of Afghanistan.

On March 20, 2003 at approximately 02:30 UTC or about 90 minutes after the lapse of the 48-hour deadline, at 05:33 local time, explosions were heard in Baghdad. There is now evidence that various special forces troops (including British SAS, the Australian SASR and 4RAR, the U.S. Army's Delta Force, United States Navy SEALs, United States Army's Green Berets and U.S. Air Force Combat Controllers) crossed the border into Iraq well before the air war commenced to guide strike aircraft in air attacks. At 03:15 UTC, or 10:15 p.m. EST, George W. Bush announced that he had ordered an "attack of opportunity" against targets in Iraq. As soon as this word was given the troops on standby crossed the border into Iraq.

2. I was so pissed and out of sorts yesterday... I wonder if this was floating in the back of my head.

I was so angry at the time I think it will stay burned into my brain the rest of my life.

3. Amazing how that works, isn't it. A year after anaesthesia, I felt numb in the same spot.

Another reason children should be shielded from violence in the media.
