paulisper also watches these early morning prime-time-in-the-daytime ER episodes. There's a few things I can hang on to these days, early morning television's several of them.
And for the first time since this GWB, the Sequel, began, I'm more worried about them than us. And as for our troops, I wish they'd listened to the speech on Monday, the one that went something like, "you don't need to follow a commander in chief you don't believe in, be a patriot, 'I was just following orders' is no excuse."
Seriously, which is the dictatorial regime when Iraq's soldiers are willing to conscienciously object, and our troops are so brainwashed by the American concept of "duty" that it would never cross their minds?
And anyway, that's what I always found romantic about the army. In retrospect, of course, only. Because it's only about the fighting; it's never about the war.

Who wants to spend this day of unwarranted invasion beta-ing a short little shippy little story I've written as my vacation back into the X-Files? If you've got an hour to kill, lemme know and tell me where to send?
(note that I've utilized the bold feature to make it easier for those of us who can't be bothered to read an entire LJ post. *g*)

"Is a US War against Iraq Illegal?"
I found it fascinating. And it parlays with the bit from before where Iraq would not be out of bounds asking the UN for support *against* the US. Wouldn't that just take the proverbial cake.
