#8  Remember, while I think it was bad, there are a lot of victims of the terrorists who don't wind up having their deaths televised; take, for instance, those schoolkids who died in Basra last month when the "resistance" decided to blow up a police station.

Don't forget about Berg, but don't forget about the schoolkids either. The so-called enlightened people want us to, because it doesn't fit into their "brave resistance vs. evil American imperialists" template.

This war is about more than just the United States or Americans, or this week's torture scandal. Did the terrorists kill Daniel Pearl in retailation for the prisoner abuse scandal?

Andrea Harris has written about this, much better than I ever could, here. Read the whole thing.

#7  For me it's horses. I've got 4. Also 4 cats, 4 dogs, 3 chickens, 2 ducks, and Elsbeth, the pig. Each evening we have a parade down to the creek where everybody (except the cats and chickens) goes swimming.

#6  YS - I'm with you. My dogs help keep me sane at times like this ... even when they're driving me crazy by barking their fool heads off ("Intruder squirrel at 5 o'clock!!!!" "Those guys in the big truck are stealing our trash again!!!!") or by digging out the bushes I just planted (like Baby Huey, "I'm helping!!").

#5  I lost internet connection before I could post. I was going to say how seeing them all excited and happy when I got home took all the weight of the days crappy news off my shoulders and let me get in a better mood. I finally watched the Berg video and it disturbed me. Thats all.
