1. God- these reports are so horrifying.

I really feel like I am disconnecting from it all
in self preservation.
I feel so helpless.

2. We are helpless

I open the story 10 minutes earlier or so and I couldn't find anything to write. And a part of me wanted to write something because else it would just pass and leave to page two like it didn't matter.

Or these...

Three roadside bombs also exploded in Baghdad on Friday, all of them targeting American patrols, said U.S. military spokesman Master Sgt. Greg Kaufman. There were no immediate reports of casualties, but Associated Press Television News footage showed a U.S. Humvee, its hood open, consumed by flames at the scene of one blast on the highway to the airport.
