This war stuff.
Should I go out and protest? No, that's even worse. I bet the soldiers feel great with their country backing them 10%.
It also seems that we are doing a better job than the Iraqies at killing our soldiers. All down to helicopter accidents. I feel so sorry for their families. It's not the way to go in war. Still we know they were all performing vital roles.
The actual invasion is stunning, the precision that the military are hitting is unbelievable. A possible maximum of 3 fatalities and 200 injuries. In a full scale invasion and all out war? Stunning. If you consider that on the first night of bombing in World War II over German cities 60000 people died.
I am slightly concerned about Saddam's attitude. Saying that the allied forces will be defeated at the gates of Bagdad. It makes you wonder what he has up his sleeve. I'm also slightly concerned about home, will this spark terrorist attacks? We may be liberating the Iraqi people, but that wasn't the intention of this war, the intention is to stop terrorist attacks. It may be counter-productive.
The news coverage is painful, the same thing being repeated over and over again. Soembody said on Radio 4 that after 11th Sept people who had no connection with the twin towers got seriously ill after obsessing over the tv and the media hype of the attack.
