Best graffiti in Rome: "Desert the permanent global war." If only we could. We're all conscripts now, though--no way to burn the draft card that comes with being a US taxpayer.

I was glad to be travelling during the first days of this new stage of the war--good to be among people who weren't taken in by the US rightwing spin that limits even CNN, good to have BBC coverage that actually gives facts. [livejournal.com profile] ninerva says that most in Great Britain are appalled by Blair's continued support of Bush. and well they should be.

I almost can't stand to watch televison these days. Henry Kissinger, speaking of vampires? Spokesmen hailing this as the beginning of the Apocalypse? I don't want to know that people think that way, really. And that Mel Gibson's arrest gets almost as much coverage as the war?

This is all intended justify our insanity, now spread to Lebanon. It almost seems that we're working in tandem with the most radical fundamentalists who'd bring on WWIII without a qualm. Now Israel wants a wider ground war and Syria is threatening to join in. And the children die. People who want nothing more than to go on about their lives are suffering, and for what? I can't even believe money is worth this.
