Okay, I heard a news story on the radio about the 9 (?) firemen that died in the fire in NC. Such a sadness. But, here is the part I don't understand. Michael Certoff, head of the Dept of Homeland Security, is there as the president's rep? Uhm...huh? Why is the president sending a rep to this service? Here we have a president that won't even acknowledge the thousands of deaths that he caused by sending our men and women (and even our boys and girls - 'cause let's face it, some of them are very young) to fight in his war in Iraq. He never sends a rep to any of those services. He won't even allow pictures of the coffins returning home.
Anytime someone dies, its a sadness and I don't mean to deny the great loss and terrific heroism of those NC firefighters. I guess I just don't understand how Dubuyah can look himself in the mirror and justify such a disparity in treatment. Or, perhaps, its not that I don't understand - its that it absolutely frightens me that we have someone in office that can do something like that without batting an eye.
