I hope that this is a sign of better things to come.



So, in retrospect, I don't think this was a necessary war.



Many Americans gave Bush the benefit of the doubt, thinking that an American president would not lie about weapons of mass destruction -- or at least had some evidence to reveal after the invasion. Instead, the WMD program was non-existent save for a few old missile heads that were no longer dangerous.



The Lancet, a leading British medical journal, estimated some years ago that one million Iraqi civilians may have died during the war. Several million became refugees. Many thousands of U.S. and allied troops died or were wounded. So, while I am glad to see the troops leave Iraq, I know that this is far from over. As Raine said over at Four Freedoms, it won't be over in the U.S. till the last Iraq War Vet screams in his sleep for the last time as an old man.

On November 18, 1872, Anthony was arrested by a U.S. Deputy Marshal for voting illegally in the 1872 Presidential Election two weeks earlier. She had written to Stanton on the night of the election that she had "positively voted the Republican ticket—straight...". She was tried and convicted seven months later, despite the stirring and eloquent presentation of her arguments that the recently adopted Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" the privileges of citizenship, and which contained no gender qualification, gave women the constitutional right to vote in federal elections. Her trial took place at the Ontario County courthouse in Canandaigua, New York. The sentence was a fine, but not imprisonment; and true to her word in court, she never paid the penalty for the rest of her life. The trial gave Anthony the opportunity to spread her arguments to a wider audience than ever before.

I love Christmas lights - my house lights up our corner

As a YMCA member I pass a small dedicated prayer room every morning on my way to my locker. Afterall, the YMCA is a Christian organization, even though it is open to the public and I’m quite sure it hosts members of many faiths. Yet aside from a few bible quotes on the walls and the prayer room, you could hardly call the building a church. It’s much more of a community center with lots of room for exercise, a daycare and a some generic space for other actitivites. In fact, it is this model that the NYC building is based on. Having been a YMCA member for several years now and having met a lot of nice people from many races and backgrounds there, I think we should be welcoming, not condemning this construction. I’m also comforted by what I have read about the people who will be running the center. From Pamela K. Taylor at The Washington Post:

All of my concerns, however, were washed away when I found out recently just who is proposing the mosque — an organization led by fellow On Faith panelist Imam Feisal Rauf. Imam Rauf has a long track-record of interfaith cooperation and dialogue. His understanding of Islam is liberal, tolerant, pro-woman. I have no doubts that the center, as run by Imam Feisal, will not only serve the needs of the local Muslim community, but also be a forum for bringing people together, fostering healing between communities, and building bridges where the crimes of others have driven wedges between us.

Good to know - I knew about Ramadan because when I worked for Media General we would have this sudden increase of people buying a muslim pay channel we carried

Media General (now Cox) was an interesting system since it had 120 channels in the pre-digital cable era. It was a big deal when my cable system went from 38 to 55 channels in 1993.
