Sword and Gun Day

*enters the blogiverse*
So, this is my grand entrance to the world of blogging. I feel that if it wasn't for my Theatre class, I would have never ventured into it. For that, I lament the loss of my blogging virginity but I also am somewhat interested in this...experiment.
I listened to a favorite song of mine today called "Six Days" by Unkle, and it's about war. Towards the end of high school my interest in politics bloomed. I did a couple debates and I loved to discuss and think about what was going on in the world. But, with this war, my interest has shrunk. Not out of choice, but as a defense mechanism. I can't stand to think about our soldiers/citizens dying everyday in a country that, in my opinion, was not worth preemptively attacking. I think to myself, what if I lost my older brother? What if he died? My life would end for a while, being totally occupied by sadness and grief, and afterwards my quality of life would NEVER be the same. Same for my mom. And my dad.
War is, unfortunately, a necessary existence for our world. But it should never be called upon unless it HAS to be. And the illusionary weapons of mass destruction that Saddam was apparently masterminding is NOT warranting.
