Riverbend is Back

Riverbend is blogging again, remembering the scenes in her house on 9/11...

Al-Qaeda was just a vague name back then. Iraqis were concerned with their own problems and fears. We were coping with the sanctions and the fact that life seemed to stand still every few years for an American air raid. We didn’t have the problem of Muslim fundamentalists- that was a concern for neighbors like Saudi Arabia and Iran...

... and suggesting that the War on Terror ("or is it the War of Terror?") has been won:

Score:
Al-Qaeda – 3,000
America – 100,000+

Congratulations.
