So much for staying off the war topic. Just felt like documenting a few ways things are already going badly, in case any of my readers have turned off the news (permanently) like I did (temporarily) this weekend.

Another reason not to believe Bush's drivel that we're not going to bomb civilians: The missiles don't always even hit the right COUNTRY. I know aiming a Tomahawk missile is more complicated than throwing a baseball against the broad side of a barn, but still, this does not fill me with confidence. We're not doing so well at missing Iran, either. And remember Afghanistan, when the US bombed the Red Cross? Twice?

Further proof that I'm right about America's detachment from the bloody reality of war: the media's apparent level of shock over the first combat deaths. And now that there are American POWs in Iraq, I bet military families are real keen on how nicely we've been treating everyone at Camp X-Ray.
