More on the attacks.

Through all of this, I find myself wanting to cry - not at the events themselves, which are almost too large to encompass, but at the little stories among them. Especially the ones that end well, with someone alive and safe.

Here's another such story, for those who aren't sick of them yet, and for so long as the link is good:

It seems like all I find are the horrors. Thank you.

*rueful smile* That's because there are relatively few bright spots in all of this, and some of them probably want their privacy. It's also because our media is all too aware that terror sells.

I'm sorry to see them "helping" these people by playing up and winding up the news, though.

By the way, more on that money bit (Bush wanted $20 billion - Congress went a bit further):
