As the wars in the middle-east rage on, citizens of Western Kentucky recieved sad news today. One of our own was killed in action in Afganistan. No matter what any of our views on the wars in the middle-east the plain and simple fact of the matter is the same men and women and their families have been asked to sacrifice for their country tour after tour, and one Western Kentuckian from about 25 miles from where I live now has paid the ultimate price as his young life was cut short.
9-11 should not be a political statement for anyone. It should be a sad day of remembrence that many people died because of hatred and incompetence. However, since the very day it occured it has constantly been used as a hammer to pound the agenda of a miguided bunch people with an unenlightened vision of the world down everyone else's throat.
Of course by now nobody has to be told that today was the eighth anniversery of the 9-11 attacks. This event served as the Kennedy assasination of this generation, an event everyone remembers where they were when it happened and an event that some will forever dispute. No matter what anyone's feelings on the wars that sprang up into response for these events one thing remains true.
