Today is Sept 11 and you are going to see many blogs reminding you to remember the 2,996. While I can empathise with people who lost someone 5 years ago I really do think it is time for American to get over themselves. So I say remember the 3,000.
Who are the 3,000? It is the number of children who will die from malaria today and while Bush is spending uncounted billions on avenging the 2,996 no amount of money will bring them back. In contrast spending some of that fortune on malaria may help the 5,475,000 children who will die from malaria in the next 5 years.
