25 years from now, people will be asking, "Where were you on January 20, 2008?" What looks like a couple million will be able to say they were in DC, witnessing the 44th president's inauguration. Many more, including myself, will say they watched him swear in from the comfort of their own living room. This history-making moment is so exciting it's hard to imagine how anyone could miss it. Here's some who might have:
The civilians caught up in the current Israel-Palestine conflict.
The millions of Iraqis who still have yet to see normalcy come back to their region.
The Afghanis, who are struggling with a country torn apart 8 years ago and until recently no one did anything about it.
The millions of homeless children throughout the world trying to survive.
The thousands of humans trafficked inside and across borders and forced into slavery.
Now is a time to celebrate. Barack Obama's promise of change has inspired many, but are all of us too inspired to do anything to help?
