Practically Demoralized
Seems like I always choose to be on the losing side of things....This site is a companion to this book, WAR ON IRAQ: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You To Know which outlines why a war on Iraq at this time is very bad for the U.S. and the world.
In War On Iraq Pitt argues that, unlike the televised in-and-out Persian Gulf War; the current conflict will cause heavy casualties on both sides, the destabilization of the Middle East, and a terrible backlash of terrorist attacks on the United States. Pitt argues that a war on Iraq will give rise "to exactly the kind of Islam vs. the West al Qaeda sought when it attacked the World Trade Center a year ago."
To me it looks as though a war is inevitable and I fear the same thoughts are with most Americans. There is a morbid concession that its just a matter of time until Bush declares war, and there is a very scary lack of conviction against the "upcoming war". Its viewed as though it is another event, perhaps like the Superbowl. "Did you catch the war on TV last night?" "Yeah, did you see those cool bombs that go in windows?"
It really make me think about the "American Dream" as does this article: The Other American Dream.
Hey, at least I may be able to get some cheaper gas and a tax break out of all this.

I never thought I would hear a cohesive argument for home-schooling. But by making one against our traditional school system, Daniel Quinn has succeeded in making one.
