Images, feelings, and thoughts on war...

Right now i am sitting in a loud, populated porch area of a local hot spot... people are drinking, they have been since morning, the music is loud, there are dogs playing with one another, people laughing, and the weather is beautiful. This is the place I jokingly call my office but currently i am struck with the decadence of it all. I have been reading about and watching videos related to the Iraq invasion by the United States. I can't even begin to relay the feelings i have had, the emotions that cut through me like the sharpest of knives... Yesterday, i found this article via Conscientious but didnt have time to read it until today... however last night i stayed up late, captivated and disturbed by this article found at Exposure Compensation. You have to watch all the video's, not just the intro, which is powerful enough!
I am just reflecting on the current election and cant help to think that it is just such a backlash from all of the shit we have been through as a result of the fuckhead who needs not be mentioned... but a well needed and healthy backlash it is!
if you are not highly disturbed by the links that i just posted i really feel a deep sorrow for you... how can humans do such horrible things to one another? This war has led to the highest casualty rate for journalists in any war ever... not to mention the lies and how many civilian casualties or the soldiers who are fighting for what again? our freedom? is that really what it is about? WTF? How is any of this ok...
