It's not an article. I just had an idea and wanted to write it down.
I'm not saying that destruction is good and whatnot. I was never pro-war or anti- it. I didn't want people to die, but I wasn't anti- it, because I was used to the idea. My point isn't even political. I was more observing on how there are passive people who expect things to happen for them, and there are people who go out and get things done. Being in the Peace Corps is the latter.
People had been bitching about Saddam for years and everyone's all "Oh, the poor Iraqi people!" Same goes for the Taliban. Then Bush comes along, is able to use 9-11 as an excuse, and wham-bam-thank-you-ma'm, both are toppled over. No cautious, wary peacetalks that are for courtesy and get nothing done. Just action.
I don't have a Poli Sci major yet, so I'm only saying this out of my limited knowledge. Look at what happened with Clinton. You have the Israel-Palenstine peace talks, and you can see how far we've gotten with those. Then you have the Kosovo.
"And about inherent rights. What is this implication that God put Bush into power? I don't think so. God does not have anything to do with screwy ballots. Don't you dare bring God into this. THIS IS NOT A HOLY WAR. And even if it were, it's the same God on each side."
Um, hi, I'm not a psycho Christian or fundie. I thought, hey, God works in funny ways. Maybe, MAYBE, this is a way of getting rid of Saddam. God wouldn't be too stressed about the casualties, because this is God, after all, looking at the big picture. It would explain the screwiness of the election. It was just a thought that came to me last night. It's not a political statement, a declaration of holy word. It's just an afterthought from 5 AM. It's my diary, and I write my thoughts. It's not a newspaper article meant to be shown around and scrutinized.
