When I got home form work last night the top story on CNN was Gay Marriage. Disgusting. The people of Spain have put their lives on the line. In Afghanistan. In Iraq. And now in the streets of Madrid. They've done it because they support you and your fight against these kinds of threats. And yet I sense that in this country people want to abstract themselves from the situation. Its over there. Its not our concern. When the WTC got hit we expected Europe to support us, and they did. We ought to have the same respect for them.
