I'm only writing a blog because it makes me write, period. I can defend what I'm writing, but that's not my purpose. I'm exhibitionistic enough to want to see my stuff on a screen, but not so insecure that I care whether anyone else does. Perversely, however, I hope someone's reading this.
I ask my students what they think about the war in Iraq. Why should they even care? Has war always been so meaningless? I wonder what the vibe was, back in WWII. If we were bombed again, would enlistments soar? I don't count the WTC as a bombing, by the way, because it wasn't. It was wrongheaded to focus the USA's resources on anything other than finding and imprisoning OBL. Now, of course, we've squandered all that global goodwill on the Iraq fiasco. Which raises the question, do we feel safer? Well, did you feel safe before? If you did, then you probably feel safe now. If you didn't before, then probably nothing's changed for you, either.
