The Aftermath of WAR

The mere thought of the ongoing war over seas makes me cringe every time I see or hear about another bombing. Yet while I have always removed myself in a way from really paying attention, (not that I have never supported the troops or our cause) but I have always felt that my personal opinions have never mattered. However, of late I have become more interested in the politics of war. I have peered deeper into the daily and weekly current events with a sort of curiosity. An arousal that makes me hope that no one died or no bombs had been dropped. One tidbit of info that I had read in an article, that most Iraqis make about two dollars a day. Man I complain that I don't make enough at ten dollars an hour. I thank my luck stars. That's for sure.
