absolutely nothing

well. i feel like i should say something, because maybe (?) there are people out there who want me to, are expecting me to.


so. i'm sad that the war is happening, i'm hopeful that we can oust Saddam, even though it's technically illegal, i'm hopeful that all the potential for the US to seize power over oil and the reigon goes unfulfilled, i'm hopeful that oil field fires do not speed the destruction of the environment, i'm disappointed that for all the protesting and thought leading to the conclusion that the war should not happen was in vain, i'm hopeful that someone else who gets elected next time can rebuild the alliances with other countries (God love France), i'm worried that many people could die, i'm worried that i and others could find some sort of sick gratification in a gruesome war, conditioned as we have been for it, and i'm disturbed by the lack of any seeming notice of it in the public sphere.


But that doesn't help you to read or me to write. What does it do?
