Dear World, I'm sorry, from an American

On the day before the 10th anniversary of 9-11, I am thinking of all the people all over the world who have suffered extreme and sudden loss. The US does not have the market on suffering; in fact we've been blessed with far less suffering than most nations on the planet. While I honor the grief of those who directly suffered ten years ago, I myself grieve for the lives we took in our knee-jerk reaction to the events of 9-11-01.
