Reply #35: I was scared, then I wanted peace - my baby's due date was days after 9/11

I gave birth, and then held and nursed my precious bundle. I never thought we should have bombed Afghanistan. I thought it was juvenile and asanine at the time. I thought if OBL was behind this, then they should just go get him, individually, and not go to war with another country. I never wanted a revenge war against Afghanistan, Iraq or another country.

I saw through Bush's lies about WMD's Iraq from the beginning (and said so loudly to anyone who would listen) and a year later when I read M. Moore's books it all made sense to me what Bush was doing.

I also agree that I was so uninformed back in 2001, but at least I could see through most of the bullshit.

eta: I also thought Bush acted so peculiarly in the days and weeks after 9/11. From the staying the classroom for so long to the hiding all over the country in his jet plane, to never really seizing the spotlight to try to be the big hero in all of this. That still puzzles me.
