by the way, have i mentioned
this other thing? this war somebody wants?
i think it is a bad idea. a very
very bad idea.
should i tell you why it is so
bad? i don't think so.
you can read the papers.
you can ferret out the facts.
you can weigh the probabilities.
you can hear the news and the
commentators and the congress, our elected representatives, who
are also politicians. you can listen. and think for yourself.
most of them will eventually
say that this war is not great but it's not so bad either.
a few of them will never say
it. i don't think i will ever say it.
i would feel silly to sit here
and type words that added up to nothing more than the idea that
war is bad.
there are always reasons for
war. they are almost never very good reasons. and the reasons
given are never quite the actual reasons. leave that to the historians.
in your guts you want the war
or you do not.
in your guts, when you hear that
the bombs are falling and the troops advancing, you will sing
out or you will weep. and you will have your reasons.
leave it at that.
but some of us are weeping almost
every day, aren't we?
what can we do?
it is possible - even likely
- that the war (this very bad war) is already underway.
