Isn't it sad that we've become a society that can not just accept good news.
Someone has to add the "buts" "ifs" and "ands".

MIGZ: It's time wounds all heels.
Actually it came from an old song by Hank Thompson, who is one of my favorite old time country singers.

Excellent, the same kind of situation is in Iraq. However should those type of announcements be made the hospitals and those in them will be attacked by terrorists from both the Al Qaida and those insurgents from Iran.

Thank you..BTW- As for your username a.k.a nickname, unfortunately time does not heal all wounds and I wish some users weren't so dagnab sensitive. I have had to make my QA hidden and eliminate fans and contacts now because of reporting.
This was posed in another YA question several days ago...
Years from now, when the images of the State House ceremony fade from Joshua T. Chiarini’s memory — the Navy band playing in the gallery, his father’s lips quivering, the weight of the medal tapping at his heart — the combat medic from Coventry may remember best his moment of valor with the words of a bleeding Marine.
“It was the greatest thing anybody ever said to me,” Chiarini recalled for the hundreds of people gathered in his honor yesterday inside the House chamber.
“He said, ‘Doc, when I saw you coming through the smoke, I knew things were going to be OK.’ ”
On a day when the exploits of a baseball team were being celebrated in heroic terms, a Marine Corps brigadier general, his own chest clinking with medals, pinned the Silver Star, the nation’s third-highest award given for bravery, onto the uniform of Joshua Chiarini.
In so doing, Chiarini, who enlisted in the Navy in 2000 three months after graduating from Coventry High School, joined the ranks of Douglas MacArthur, Chuck Yeager, George Patton, Oliver North and H. Norman Schwarzkopf, all of whom earned the same distinction for extraordinary heroism.

Beautiful!! It is nice to hear someone actually report something good that has come from all of this. The press is always ready to report about every bad thing and deny access to successes. Thank you for letting us all see what good comes with the struggles and what successes come from the determination and help from those who were there for this purpose in the first place.

Thats nice.
The Taliban now control all of north-western Pakistan .... a nuclear armed country......
We should not have just ousted the Taliban.
We should have killed them .... as well as their Al Qaeda master, bin Laden....
Instead we are wasting time, lives, and resources in Iraq ..... AND losing the war on terror.
The next 9/11 will be nuclear, thanks to Bush.
