Make Bush Not War
I predict the war with Iraq will begin by this month's end. I hope I'm wrong. If for some reason Bush backed down now he would likely lose the next election at least as badly as he lost the last one, but if he pushed the war quickly there is a slight chance his approval rating would spike upwards. Unlike many anti-war protesters, I don't feel that Bush et al are making war purely for oil, though that is one factor. They have a fear of Iraq using nasty weapons, so much so that they want to subdue the country by force even if no weapons are found. This underlying fear is what causes them to react against the UN Security Counsel's advice and rush to war. This fear brings out such irrational statements as this one from Rumsfeld: "The fact that the inspectors have not yet come up with new evidence of Iraq's WMD program could be evidence, in and of itself, of Iraq's noncooperation." With these words he presents Iraq with the impossible task of proving a negative. FDR's famous quote, "The only thing we have to fear is Fear itself" suddenly has new meaning. G: It was cold at the march. I was cold. Freezing for Peace, man. But it was really great. So many people. So many signs. Creative artworks. Near the end we found the Greenbelt Crew, after looking out for them all day. I carried the sign for a little while, it said, "Greenbelt Maryland supports PEACE not War!" I found a cute little pine cone the other day and brought it home. Tonight it came to life, making crackling and popping noises. John is holding it in his hand, warming it more and feeling it crackle and pop. J: It's really loud! And it's startling when it snaps. I think it opens slightly with each pop. Gina's holding it now. On
Monday Ken organized a game day at our house, attended at various times
by Kory, Gina, me, Ken, Kristin (Matherly), and Liam. We played (in this
order) Perudo, Medici, Hunter's and Gatherers, Perudo, Wise and Otherwise,
Klunker, and two short games of Werewolf. Halfway through the gaming we
all went to nearby Siri's Chef's Secret for delicious pad thai and veggie
curry. I didn't win a single game. Except for one game of Werewolf but
that doesn't count. There were only five players, one werewolf, and I played
the seer. We "executed" Liam the first day; he's always a werewolf.3
