After class last night, I am sure, I am on the same emotional path as you describe. The picture of the boots reminds me of the room in the Holocaust Museum here i Washington DC filled up with shoes – owned by Jews. Someone has worn those boots. Where are they now?

I also share your view with regard to War Radio. What an amazing accomplishment….

We don’t have the war on our doorstep, so I don’t think we’ll ever fully comprehend what it’s like in Iraq. I think these blogs and other social tools are not only helpful for the rest of the world to understand the situation, but maybe cathartic for the soldiers and Iraqis who are living it through it as it gives them another way to express their emotions.

I found that I had many of the same feelings as you did regarding our search this week on the War in Iraq. It really makes you think about how we live each day in comparison to how they live…and much like you mentioned, I cant imagine what it would be like fighting over there or having family or friends fighting. I feel almost removed from the War, like you said we are all so busy that we just get a clip here and there from the news or radio in the car. We never get the details as we did this week.

I think having social media tools like blogging and Youtube, even Flickr helps the soldiers to communicate what is going on in their lives and in Iraq…it probably helps get them through the days, months, and even years.
