I think war is a game to politicians to further their politicalal aims and gains. I also put the spiders out when it's warm, and leave them indoors when it's cold. "Our greatest enemy is fear." - don't know who said it first, but it's the truth. I'm scared, too, but for the whole planet. Locate and lock up terrorists, make presidential criminals pay for their crimes through the world court, but WAR? ATTACK? -
Even after Mr. Powell's speech today to the UN, I do not personally see sufficient current threat to us (USA), nor sufficient ties to the twin towers disaster, to justify attacking Iraq. The UN needs to get it's act together towards it's original aims. The US needs to stop acting like their perceived enemies. (IMO)

What if we have a war and no one shows up? I am surrounded by people whose only source for the truth is Jerry Springer, so I don't fight fair, I turn up Rush Limbaugh. Great Poem one of pure and truthful thought.

Alas, how come someone elses child has to die to save mine? That's what confuses me.. where are all the good 'hitmen' when you need them? All this because of one, no good, pig of a Sadam! You wrote your heart, josie, and of all the stuff on this, yours brought the tears.. it's awful being confused... worse to be afraid. Thank you. katy.

If the world was run by people who put the spiders outside rather than kill them I would be a happy woman.

We all have fears. But will bombing Iraq and killing innocent people make us any safer? Very good.
