After the thread I started last night about the beheading, I couldn't sleep very well. That video is so sad. Like I mentioned last night, I see 4 year old my son every time it's played or mentioned. What if it was MY boy that was on that video?
Please don't think that I don't feel badly for the mothers in Iraq that have lost their children to stray bombs... children we call "collateral damage".
This morning I'm preparing to spend the entire day with my little buddy. I'll take him out to eat breakfast, to the park, to the river to throw rocks into the water, and maybe to the video game store to get a new PS2 game.
The one thing I can't stop thinking is that the world is NOT a safer place for him. With every new country that we venture into, unwanted, we further anger extremists. These people hold grudges for years.
Long after our government officials are dead and gone, my little boy, and yours, will be paying for the hatred stirred up today.
And that, my friends, terrifies me.

Ya know what I couldn't agree with you more on this brother. I have custody of a 4 and 8 year old boys. Guess that is why it brought tears to me.. Felt like a lil girl after watching that video like my eyes turned into a river! I couldn't even imagine if my kids were ever hurt let alone killed. But ya know when you see shit like this it makes ya stop and think FUCK I was just whining about bills, stress etc.. and while im whining someone else is having it worse then me
