I was in my last year of art school finishing up some projects for my soon to come senior show. There were eight or nine of us in the studio crammed around a portable TV as the bombs started to drop live on TV. I remember the GOP and Bush Sr. both saying this was going to be swift action and the US would not stay. Years later Bush Jr finished up what his father had started, All out war in a region the US political and military machine is largely responsible for fucking up in the first place. Wars in in two countries no less. <br /><br />I remember them saying this would be short and swift and that it would only cost a few billion dollars tops and minimal American lives. <br /><br />I remember their lies to justify so much death and destruction that not only destroyed two countries but has helped plunge this country into another depression, filled with hate and suspicion. <br /><br />I dare say we are worse off than we were nearly 22 years ago. But I am happy our men and women are coming home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435898609664094754noreply@blogger.com
