and how anyone can start criticizing a country that is grieving makes me sick

Rocky you are OF COURSE right. I just don't want it to happen again - to ANY country.
I don't want to get bombed here in London. When we attacked Libya we used UK bases and the Brits got attacked because of that. Those bases will likely be used again and I am not afraid to admit it scares the shit out of me. I don't want to die.
My mother in law was alive and lived here when London got bombed in WW2 and she is having shell shock moments this week. Serious stuff. She woke up screaming the other night and that would scare the crap out of anyone.
Just need to know that when we bomb (and we will) all of the nations on our side and who will fight next to our boys are terrified.
As to what we should do - well how about just keeping informed as a society. I know we can't be everywhere but on the African genocide issue - if you have any grandparents that lived in Germany in WW2 and were Jewish (I do in my family..tho I am not Jewish..long story) ask them if it was too big a risk?
