Had terrible dreams last night that I was trapped in Iraq. In my hand I tightly gripped my Glock 9mm service weapon. I was constantly obsessed with the safety and whether it was on or off. I think watching ”8 Mile” Saturday night has affected me. There’s a scene where a guy shoots himself because he didn’t have the safety on. This doesn’t mean my stance about the whole thing has changed. Read this article. Is diplomacy with psychotic butchers possible? Could we have been diplomatic with Hitler? 125,000 people were protesting in New York City this past Saturday. Weren’t they worried about leaving their mobile homes empty?


I am reading the blog of an Iraqi citizen using the pseudonym Salam Pax. Very intriguing.
