Here is my list, what is yours?
10 - The Tsunami in Indonesia: A scary reminder of Mother Nature's wrath...
9 - The Global Recession - We came close... very very close.. and we're still in deep trouble
8- The 2006 Israeli War On Lebanon - The apartheid state launches a war against its much weaker neighbor and essetially achieves nothing.
7- The Afghanistan War - I still don't understand why we are there, how long we will be there, and what is our goal there
6- Abu Ghraib Scandal - totally exposed a very dark side to our troops and almost got us to lose the moral arguement
5- Hurricane Katrina - Just like number 10, add to it a total failure of an administration that simply didn't give a shit (and still doesn't)
4- The Israeli War on Gaza - The apartheid state launches a war against its much weaker neighbor and essetially achieves nothing. Well, unless you consider over 1,400 dead civilians.. but, they don't count as humans in the eyes of Israel and its supporters.
3- The War in Iraq - Still baffled by how many people were so manipulated by so few... Thousands of our troops dead, countless Iraqi victims, and still no answers as to why
2- 9/11 - No injustice in the world could justify such evil act
1- W - No Comment
Of course, I could have mentioned other horrors such as Sarah Palin, Britney Spears, The Jonas Brothers, Carrie Prejean.. but then this list would be much longer....
