I don't want to talk

I don't want to talk about the war forever but I just have one thing to say. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however, to those of you who disagreed with my last post (and decided to email me instead of start a discussion on my comment board) I would like you to remember:

It's my weblog...

... and so I have included a special something on the left side of my page to remind us that war is deadly and not over just because you turn your television off - which I know most of you are painfully aware of.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
      -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

Also, I would like to pass on this very interesting blog (found through others links).
He is an Iraqi citizen in Baghdad - his daily blogs....the sights and sounds from his home, literally going out on the streets for their daily bread, etc.
