Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Opinions
The other day I wrote a "post":http://www.3cat.com/bigcat/archives/000143.php that was mostly opposed to war with Iraq. I've been thinking how easy it is for me to sit here and write something like that, the same way that it is for the pro-war bloggers to say what they think. (And yes, I am glad we are free (at least so far) to express those opinions).
We don't live in "Iraq":http://dear_raed.blogspot.com/, we're not the "U.S. soldiers":http://www.giparty.org/ who will likely fight there.
Don't get me wrong, it is important in a democracy to say what you believe. I just hope we keep some perspective and know that there are some people out there who will die as a result of those decisions, and many more whose lives will be affected as mine probably won't be.
In the bigger picture of course terrorists could once again bring the war home to us.
This post doesn't really have a conclusion. It was just a thought that came to me on a snowy night.
