So, what about the things I feel most thankful for this holiday season?
I'm thankful I?m not being tortured in Guantanamo or any other branch of the US ?anti-terror? Gulag.
I'm thankful my home, my water supply and my electricity have not been blown to sh*t by US bombs.
I'm thankful that there is virtually no chance that any member of my family will be dragged out of my apartment in the middle of the night and interrogated.
I'm thankful than neither I nor any member of my family will be hit by white phosphorous shells that will liquefy our flesh.
I'm thankful that when on the street outside of my apartment building I don't see foreign soldiers with automatic weapons, any of whom might mistake my hurrying home to use the toilet as a sign that I?m up to no good and fill me with 300 rounds of high caliber bullets.
I'm thankful that my entire country hasn't been coated with depleted uranium dust.
I'm thankful that all of my friends and family are gathered around the table, and that none of them has been murdered by foreign soldiers or people trying to drive those soldiers out of the country.
