Okay, with everything that's been going on in the last 24 hours I've been slowly tied up into a bundle of knots. Right now I'm sitting on the fence, undecided if this whole thing is good or bad.
On one hand, I abhor killing and definitely don't like the thought of war. When I heard earlier that there had been some civilian casualties in the bombing I was shocked and horrified at the loss of life. Then hearing that they were targeting sites where the Iraqi leadership was supposedly holed up, I got chills. They've even said that the bunker where Saddam's wife, who probably had nothing to do with this, has been bonbed. My jaw hit the floor.
*sigh*
On the other hand, part of me understands that diplomacy hasn't worked. That they gave them plenty of time to comply with the UN's orders and that this is a last resort action. Althought they haven't gotten full support for the UN, the US has gotten military support from the UK and from Australia and Turkey has already said that they can use their airspace. So obviously, somewhere, that I can't see right now, this is right to some people.
So.. I say, have your war if you must. But know when to stop before it gets out of hand. I'll pray for peace but I'll steel myself when I watch the news.
