I thought about it, then said, "I feel homesick." That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.

I know that nobody who hasn't been in battle or under attack can know what war is. But even in terms of being safe at home, it's also true that many Americans who think they know what being at war is, don't. Including, of course, George W. Bush and his people. They don't have a clue.

And it completely opened me up.
