On this anniversary

Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez has told the American Ambassador to leave and has called home his Ambassador from the U.S. Generally this kind of thing happens prior to military action. Apparently he's had enough of the Bush regime's attempts to remove him from power even though, he was democratically elected.
CNN reports: Chavez, who had a previous coup attempted on him in 2002, said the former plotters "are the same people involved in this coup attempt. Behind them is the American empire."
But he said the presence of two Russian warplanes on Venezuelan soil for a training exercise "is a warning" to the rest of the world that Venezuela's allies include Russia and other countries.
Chavez added that, should any country in Latin America be overthrown, he would interpret that to be "the green light to undertake military operations of any sort in those countries, and restore power back to the people."
And he had a message for President Bush, beseeching him, to "go wherever you have to go and leave the Latin-American people alone."

On this Anniversary of the tragic loss of life that was perpetrated by religious zealots against civilians that had absolutely nothing to do with putting troops on foreign "Holy" soil. We are 7 years out from a time when we were all Americans. The world was on our side, or at least the majority of it. What happened? How did we get here? I'll give you my opinion: unchecked greed disguised as God's will. Now remember I'm agnostic but, I just gotta say, "God help us."
