War Blows

March 18, 2003

After watching our fearless, fear-inducing leader on television last night I started to get physically scared. I am obviously scared for the innocent residents of Baghdad, but I am also fearfull for my own safety.

After 9/11, Bush and his administration were careful to protect the citizens of America. Last night he claimed that by attacking Iraq on our own terms we are preventing a war on their terms. Granted, I don't have access to sensitive intelligence data, but I had no real fear of Hussein and Iraq until Bush started swatting at the hornet's nest. Sure, we have a bigger army, but Hussein has nothing to lose at this point.

This morning I read an article form the BBC explaining that Saddam rejected Bush's request for him to flee the country. A quote from Saddam's son asks for Bush and his family to leave the country. For some reason, this struck me. Also, this list of bullet points hit me.

Blair has had three cabinet members resign? We only have two serious backers? What is Bush doing?!? Before this post becomes even sloppier and rantier I will stop, but I am fearful right now.
