Happy Day!

I officially have an Alpha Chi initiation date! November 12 at American University! W00t!

Also, the Yankees are currently 86-56, the best record in the AL... and the Mets are 88-55, by far the best record in the NL. Did somebody say Subway Series? *knocks on wood*

5 years later

Five years after September 11, 2001.... Almost 3,000 U.S. troops have died in Iraq and Afghanistan (just slightly more than the number of people killed in the 9-11 attacks). Over 14,000 U.S. troops have been wounded, and more than 50,000 civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan have been killed.

And we still haven't found Osama. In fact, according to an anonymous state department official, the trail is "stone cold."

And we've also sparked a cilvil war in a region where the U.S. wasn't too popular to begin with.

Five years later, are Americans safer? Is the world safer? It sure doesn't feel like it.
