regarding wars

I reread The War of the Worlds tonight. It creeped me out enough that I'm going to listen to some calming music before I go to bed. I tap out pretty easy on horror stuff, especially zombies. I reread that book because I'm excited for the new movie, I'm interested to see how it's going to be updated. I want to see the old movie too.

I'm getting further along in laptop computer research. I found a couple of candidates based on Athlon 64 chips that are real powerhouses for not much money. I think it's very likely that I'm going to get a new computer in the near future. I don't know if I really need a laptop, but I am at least doing a good job of rationalizing it.

I saw something in the news today about how the U.S. and the U.K. stepped up bombing of Iraq in 2002 to provoke Saddam Hussein into giving us an excuse for invading. The Bush administration is outrageous and I hope Bush gets impeached. I am only outraged at Iraq more than all the other things Bush has done because Iraq is killing people.

I'd like to apologize, to whomever is in a position to accept it. When it started, I was for the war in Iraq. I remembered how fun and easy the first Iraq war was, when I collected Desert Storm trading cards. I waited eagerly for the day the invasion would begin and watched CNN - eating popcorn - when it finally arrived. I don't remember when I changed my mind. Maybe it was when the many inspectors found none of the alleged WMDs. I am completely against the war now though, and I'm sorry for getting caught up in the war frenzy when this all started.
