Triviality and Bad Grammar

Not that this entry contains either. Well, maybe bad grammar. And a little triviality, but not for a while.

I had to make this entry, because, The Hot One, it won’t let me send you notes! And I’ve got so much I wanted to say. It let me save the first one and now the bastard won’t let me send any more. I’ll just write here what I was going to leave;

“It’s exactly that stance which I find hard to understand – surely the citizens of Iraq are not going to be better off when being bombed by one of the world’s super powers. The USA have managed to assassinate political leaders before without waging war, and could easily dispose of Saddam in this way. The fact that the USA (and Britain, we’re not blameless in any way) have admitted that they are targeting the oil fields, supposedly in order to use money from the sale of oil to implement a regime change under the supervision of the US government, when in reality this money will go back to the US and UK via the debts which Iraq owes, suggests to me that the welfare of the Iraqi citizens is not the main motivation behind this war. Also, one of the companies poised to buy the oil was home to Cheney before he became vice-president – all these facts make it seem to me as if this war is a lot more oil-orientated than anything else. I fully support the troops, and I believe that the only way of showing our support is to bring them home, instead of allowing them to act as cheap money-grabbing labour for manipulative leaders, and risking their lives for a cause which 76% of the British public (I don’t know about American) are against.”

Then I said a lot of nice stuff relating to your entry. In reply to your notes back to me, I’d better write about that here too, because it still won’t let me save notes.

Okay. I still disagree that the Iraqi peoples will be better off after the war, because a large amount of them will be dead. I’d just like to make clear the fact that because I oppose the war, does not mean I support Saddam or his regime in any way. I just believe that a war without the support of the UN, and against the Nuremburg Principles, is an illegal war, and the US are not above the law, whatever Bush may think. The Americans didn’t give a damn about the Kurds Saddam has been gassing for years, until they realised they could use them as an excuse for reasserting their control over the Middle East. Everyone is aware of the terrible conditions which Saddam has inflicted on the Iraqi citizens, but a lot of emotive propaganda about their awful lives isn’t going justify this war.

I wish Lelly was arguing instead of me. Because she’s so much better. I know what I mean, I just don’t seem to be able to write it eloquently enough. Never mind.

Okay, enough about the war now. I have to go to school in eleven minutes, and am as yet still not dressed. I wanted to wash my hair before I went too, but got entangled in political discussions, dammit. Never mind.

I get to see Rose today, I haven’t seen her for a while. She went to York on Tuesday, and UEA on Wednesday, so I haven’t seen her since Monday (and yes, that is a long time!). She’s going to Bristol this weekend as well. But I’m staying at hers on Friday night 🙂

Oh, and Katy – I will send your prezzie! I will! I’m sorry, it’s so late. I’ll try and send it today, no promises though.

Ok, well lots of love to you all, I’m going to be late if I don’t leave soon,
