As the Native Americans reminded us: "No tree has branches so foolish as to fight among themselves." 
We all have built into us the capacities for kindness and creativity and beauty. It's a matter of perspective. As Einstein said, "The single most important decision any of us will ever make is whether or not to believe that the universe is friendly." It's our choice.
GOD BLESS THE FALLEN HEROES. Every single one who perished, and all their loved ones, are in our prayers. WE CAN ALL UNITE ON THIS: From Carl of SimplyLeftBehind "I wanted to highlight a really ambitious project that unites blogs from across the political spectrum (even extremists like Michelle Malkin!) to honor those who died on 9/11/01" DCROE We're trying to get the word out worldwide about this, a living memorial to the people who left us. Please spread the word.

"Dear Lydia, I have to share something that my wife said after reading your blog. Without sounding flakey…I’m convinced that my wife is correct and that this goes hand in hand with your statement regarding the next frontier being the center or the middle. We both have a strong internal sense of something impending that is difficult to explain. A feeling that many of us are going to be called to stand out for what is right and rescue the Constitution of the USA so that the country can get back to being a democracy. It seems like while America slept, we were slowly and silently robbed of democracy. The irony is the fact that so many people who call themselves Christian as well as conservative played a big role in America silently surrendering democracy to those who regard the constitution as a mere technicality to work around in order to promote their self-serving agenda’s. Respectfully, Dennis Taylor"

Bush Now Says What He Wouldn’t Say Before War: Iraq Had ‘Nothing’ To Do With 9/11
President Bush was in the midst of explaining how the attacks of 9/11 inspired his “freedom agenda” and the attacks on Iraq until a reporter, Ken Herman of Cox News, interrupted to ask what Iraq had to do with 9/11. “Nothing,” Bush defiantly answered - (Think Progress)
Like many mothers, I have an internal protective instinct and compassion for children everywhere. The minute George Bush declared an urgent need to invade Iraq, I knew in my bones this was a corrupt, sinister and anti-Christian decision. America NEVER starts a war or chooses war, by the way. And Christ commanded us to bless those who persecute us. Now an ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURE: Bush finally admitted the truth — that there were NO ties between Sadaam Hussein and 9/11, and NO ties between Sadaam and Al Queda! Why are they suddenly telling the truth now? And Cheney quietly admitted th truth on a sunday news program yesterday, that there were no WMD. So why did we invade Iraq to the tune of 300 billion dollars, 3,000 U.S. troops dead, 20,000 troops without legs and arms, and countless innocent Iraqi children dead? How can America justify this slaughter? Wouldn't our dollars and deaths be better spent hunting down Al Queda? Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, opium production is rampant and the Taliban is back in full force.
Tuesday night I had the honor of meeting both John Dean and Gore Vidal at a C-Span and Progressive Democrats event at the home of Teddi Windograd, mother of Marci Winograd. Dean's new book "Conservatives Without Conscience" is riveting, and delineates the exact same type of malicious, amoral smear-tactics and personal threats he and his wife Mo received from neo-conservatives that I have received. I will do an extensive article soon about this amazing evening.
9/7/06: REGARDING SLANDER, SMEAR AND THREATS I'VE BEEN RECEIVING: I wrote this letter to Joseph Cannon yesterday regarding the malicious attacks we've received. He posted an article about it here: CANNONFIRE threats-against-lydia-cornell
"Dear Joseph, Thank you for your support in bringing this serious issue to attention. This is how they operate and it's shocking to Democrats because we do not view our fellow man as a stepping stone to power.... There are things I haven't told anyone that have happened to us, which would chill you to the bone."
These people are are a far cry from good conservatives like Barry Goldwater and others we used to know. No peacemaking Progressives treat their fellow man this way — with personal destruction, virulent attacks and death threats. Why do certain extremist conservatives engage in such hateful tactics? How can they call themselves Christian?! I never believed people could really be like this. How sad for America.
DO NOT BELIEVE ABC's FAKE 911 upcoming "docudrama." It is a fabrication and a LIE. ABC's new mini-series "The Path to 9/11" grossly misrepresents his pursuit of Osama bin Laden - and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Ex-White House anti-terror adviser Richard Clarke and President Bill Clinton are demanding the network "pull the drama" if changes aren't made.
OSAMA BIN LAUGHIN' too. From Cannonfire: Bush vowed vengeance against Osama Bin Laden and any nation which harbored him. Pakistan has announced (according to ABC News) that the leader of Al Qaeda "will not face capture in Pakistan if he agrees to lead a 'peaceful life.'" Pakistan also harbors A.Q. Khan, nuke-seller to terrorists.
Yet Bush continues to treat Pakistan as an ally, and even gives that nation aid! And ABC is airing a deceit-filled docudrama which accuses Bill Clinton of being soft on Bin Laden!
Where in the world is OSAMA? The news won't cover it, but Bush APPEASED HIM MONTHS AGO BY GIVING UP OUR MAIN SAUDI BASES. AND NOW OSAMA IS IN PAKISTAN, enjoying spa treatments and caviar. Bush has negotiated with a terrorist, not just any terrorist, but the "worst" terrorist — by letting him live a peaceful life. Bush is now bringing out his fake "terrorist" fear-based news, appearing to be the savior, right before the election. It will backfire.
