"Do the
Others have parents? Do they have grandparents? Do the Others have siblings,
who now watch the clear blue skies in terror every day, the way New Yorkers did
for a few months after 9/11? Do the Others have spouses who miss them? Do the
Others have children who wonder why the Others haven't come home from work yet?
Do the Others have circles of friends who talk about the hole that is left in
their daily lives, who talk about corny old jokes the Others used to tell, or
stories about when one of the Others tripped on a rock or fell in a creek, or
offer prayers for the souls of the Others every day?
It Is Long Past Time We Met the Victims of the Lethal Presidency of
