War, what war?

The toll in London is at least 49 dead (with many more they can't reach yet) and more than 700 injured.

The war on terror goes well. (When does Osama's trial start? I forget).

Meanwhile...

Check THIS link out. Or THIS. Or THIS.
To date, 1,752 Americans have died in Iraq. Another 15,000 to 38,000 have been wounded (Officially 13,190). And that doesn't count the 25,814 civilian deaths. These aren't numbers. They're people. (Yeah, I know, Saddam killed Iraqi civilians, too. But there's a difference.)
It has cost us $180.5 billion so far.
And NO weapons of mass destructions have ever been found.
And NO al Quada connection has ever been found.
And NO terrorist camps.
And NO plans to spread worldwide terrorism have ever been found.
And, given the price at the pump, the oil isn't even flowing.
Anyone read the Downing Street memo yet?
Why, again, are we there? No answers yet.

And so it goes.

It often seems to me that comments like this can do a power of good in things like personal development garland.
For instance, they shift the focus, and alert us to points of view that maybe weren't all that
clear before. Which opens all sorts of avenues. Thanks Ol' Guy.
