She said, "Daddaaaaaaay, it stands for Hostile Intruder. In case bad men get in our school the principal says a secret over the speaker and we close the blinds, turn out the lights, lock the door and hide in a corner where no one can see us looking in the little window in our door." I felt so bad this was how my kid has to enjoy life right now. My 13 year old told me about her HI training, too. Even scarier for her. It was then my mind was completely made up about what the right thing to do was. I'm glad Bush only gave Saddam 48 hours. I hope in his remaining time on earth he accesses this URL and enjoys this little animation. Soon after that, maybe my kids can go back to some form of normal school day.

Jimbo,
I am truely hesitant to bring involve children in the discussion, but you brought up the topic.
Pretty interesting that you blame Saddam Hussein for scaring your children. When did he start scaring them?
The truth is that it is our government who is scaring them.
There have been hostile nations across the globe forever. Why are our children being drilled in HI training now. Is Iraq going to invade?
This is just another scare tactic.
Why scare tactics?
Because a scared public is a submissive public.
