Iraq

The more I read about the war - "Operation Iraq freedom" - got to be the mother of all euphemisms, the more I feel sick. Though the pacifist in me shudders with horror, there is a little part of me that is proud of the defiance Baghdad is showing. The lines have blurred now. With talks of post war construction contracts already, while hundreds of Iraqis are dying, US has completely exposed itself as to what a greedy bully it is. If the stock market is an indicator, the US economy might improve and then they will all go back to talk about the ill gotten Nazi money and how to get it back from the Swiss banks.
