Angry moment..

Harriet came off her bike today, scrapped herself pretty badly, hot day, thin clothing etc. As a parent you want to take the pain not them, i wanted to kick the wall that hurt her.An hour or so later i watch the news as Donald Rumsfeld ( spelling?) walked away from a journalist saying he felt good about `it`, the inteligence they recieved to start the war but aknowledging that they wouldnt always get it right. I imagined the Iraqi children, lying with more than cuts and bruises, many dead, thousands more maimed for life. How he `feels good` is beyond my scope, how he sleeps at night is not far from the edge of the radar too, and in that moment, if i had been close to him and a parent of a child in Iraq hurt by the bombing, i think the wall would have got off light.
