Grrrrr... I think by now everyone knows my take on this "war"...

It's soooooo dumb... isn't this what got us into this mess in the first place... the US insisting on getting rid of another country's leader, just because they don't like them? ... there are plenty worse that Saddam... I'll admit that he really needs to be gotten rid of... he after all, does hold mass public executions and doesn't tolerate anyone saying a single bad thing about him... but what about the genocide going on in Africa? why isn't the US in there? It's so stupid, they're killing so many innocents for something that isn't any of their business... really if it get's that bad, there will be a revolt... after all the US managed to overthrow brittain years ago, and they had no weapons or training! ...yes, lot's of people will be killed for speaking out against Saddam, but it really has to come from within... and if they really wanted help, they'd have asked for it... okay, so their pride might not let them, but that's really their problem... it's not up to us to decide when they need help... we can't, we don't understand thier culture or costoms, we don't live there, we don't know how they think... plus there are so many different cultures and religions in Iraq, that a democracy probably won't work... the US really has this thing about democracy being the only way... no communism, no dictatorship, so why haven't they gone after the monarchies??? okay so dictartors and communist's aren't great, but isn't a monarchy kind of like a dictatorship? one person is ruling... it's not complete totalitarianism (sp?) but it's still there... yes democracy is prolly the best, but it's even better in theory... comunism is great in theory too... it's peoples greed that screws it up...

so anyways... I just realised that I forgot to tell about my annual tree... you see, ever since I started skiing five years ago, I've crashed in to at least one tree per year... my favourite so far, is last year's, a lovely snow ghost (a completely snow covered pine)... I was pratically burried, all the snow came down when I hit it... it all landed on me... this year, I thought it was a dead unatached brach... it unfortunately, wasn't... it was a little, young tree... and when I skied over it, it decided to get me back by comming up and wacking me right in the face... *sigh*... it was funny... just hummiliating too...

well, I'm gonna go, I'm actually going to see Chicago today! YAY!!!
