I know I write about the Iraqi war (embarrassment) alot. I think about it so much though. Wondering what is happening over there, the mind set of the people in Iraq, if our troops have been given better equiptment and been taking care of. I heard a soldier call into the Howard Stern show this morning, he just arrived and will have to stay for a year, his buddy's hummer had just been blown up and he said it was insane there.
I recently found a new band, System of Down. They are metal rock but have some wonderful melodies throughout their songs. I saw them the first time on Conan one night. I did not even know what they were singing, but they played with such passion, I had to check them out. Come to find out they just released a double album. They are anti war, anti the Bush government and it is quite amazing to hear exactly what I feel being sung with such conviction! They have one song that asks "where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?"
I remembered in April 2003 the day we started bombing. I was at my nephews birthday party, but all I could think about was those people being bombed, here we are, eating, laughing, celebrating, smiling and those people are being bombed. I tried so hard to not say one word about it, I was very vocal even before we invaded, I did not want to ruin my nephews party, but my heart was so very sick. Now people are outraged, Bush's approval rating at it's lowest and it brings it all up again. That sick feeling in my stomach, crushing my heart
