Iraq war was started in direct response to the 9/11 attacks
Nah. That - and Afghanistan - was merely correlative. Attacking a third-party country because of the actions of some Saudis based on what a Saudi royal spearheaded is nonsensical. It was absurd; and probably about Oil.









I wish I could be you, and I have a dear friend who is as liberal with his truth.
I worry so many of us suffered unintentional neglect during times of crises - divorces, poverty-driven migration, etc - because everyone had to cope and keep working and was exhausted in the rebuild, that we aren’t as free with our feelings as we should be because we didn’t see or get the practice.
And poor people don’t get professional help to course-correct since they’re barely food-secure.
But you’re awesome. And every time I see a grown-ass man displaying physical parental affection for his child - a kiss, a hug, snuggling a sleepy babeh, all that - I know that child has amazing potential to express his/her own affection without so much reservation.
It’s a good trend. Keep it up.
