So far, so busy. I'm just preparing myself for my afternoon class, and wondering what the Hell I'm going to teach tomorrow. Everyone in college seems rather tense- the expectation of war. We all know it's going to happen, and we're all frustrated about it. Not a single person I know supports the war completely, yet they also concede that something must be done about Saddam. There is, of course, one benchmark to consider. Who, or what, is likely to kill more - Saddam or thousands upon thousands of pounds of munition? In his bloody career, Hussein has been responsible for something like a million and a half deaths through war. It is estimated that western sanctions against Iraq since 1991 have been responsible for nearly a million deaths, mainly of children, the elderly and infirm. It is hard, to put it mildly, to say which is the *correct* side. This is a war where the leaders were wading in blood before the first bombs started dropping. When will enough blood have been spilled to sate their thirst? By, the way, I also include the French and Russian governments in the list of aggressors. Their *no war* stance is deeply hypocritical. Both countries have been major arms contributors to the Iraqi regime, and their current stance is simply an attempt to protect their commercial interests with the Baathist regime.
