Six years on

I wonder if they knew how badly they'd hurt us.

On top of all of the primary and long term physical, emotional and economic damage, they even duped us into hemorrhaging what's left of our pride, our security, and our brave children, in an unjust, unrelated military action in the fertile crescent.

I don't know that they factored in our national pride and insanity, but I would wager that they speculated and hoped that we'd be as incredibly proud and irrational as we were.

Six years later, in spit of the promises, the mastermind of it all is still on the loose, we’re still on the line with 911, and we're bleeding out.
