War Begins
So it started tonight. I found myself briefly hopeful that maybe the one strike would have been enough to meet all objectives; like our Army had outperformed itself or something and then given all of our American contractors no reason to rebuild anything at all. But in a way hoping for that is like chipping away at my own resistance to having there be any violence at all. Our government is powerful, it exhausts me.It's odd to be able to go to all the other websites that have nothing to do with war and forget about the war. Different than 10 years ago when you could only watch TV and every channel was about the war.
The guy over at Dear Raed is still blogging.
There were some rumors about a CNN reporter being shot live on camera but I haven't heard anything other than rumor. No attribution even.
There was also a plane hijacked but it got no news coverage. It was just Cuban defectors.
And a major operation in SE Afghanistan.
More later I'm sure.
