. With Forgiveness

Someone who I met once a few years ago, sends (via what I assume is a blast email to many people, so maybe it’s gotten around already) this.
It encourages you to forgive — you can forgive George Bush, or anyone of your choosing, or both. Here is what results.
I kind of like it. And I certainly like the spirit of it quite a bit.
(The sender works at an agency, or did when I met him, but I think — I hope — this is not related to any branding campaign.)
Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

I generally believe in reconciliation. But I have no personal relationship with the guy so he doesn’t feel my anger. And the guy took our country into an unjustified war that has killed thousands of Iraqis and torn apart the lives of nearly everyone there – not to mention the destruction caused to troops fighting for the “coalition.”
I’m not some sort of new age yoga freak that thinks I should dissipate all anger in my life; my continued low grade anger isn’t hurting me or anyone else. But the pain and anger caused by Bush’s war will touch tens of thousands around the world for generations to come.
And I’m still pissed that the people of our country were too busy sipping grande single shot half caff lattes to notice that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. So all of this makes me wonder if this “forgiveness” exercise is really a way of making Americans feel better about letting this pointless war happen on their watch.
So no… I’m not ready to forgive.
