sua_layHmmm...
I wonder if I should think about becoming a politician.
I mean, if a jerk whose opinions are from Mein Kampf and dark ages can get elected to our Parliament, surely someone openly bi, insane, sarcastic and loudmouthed could get there too.
Ahem...
My candidate got elected. Was happy. I doubt my vote really counted, but still. Now will have to see what she'll do during the next 4 years.
While we're moaning here about the fact that our next PM will be an extremely sneaky and unattractive (not like that! good gods, I don't mix sexy thoughts with politics. otherwise I'd have a bumper sticker saying Snape for president) woman, the world is waiting for the idiocy to start.
I wish someone would explain me the reason for this war. I mean explain it so that it makes sense. After all, I'm just a simple woman from Finland, who loves political history, history in general, and does have an IQ that is larger than her waistline.
Maybe I'm stupid or something.
Will go to bed soon. Have a short night shift that starts at 9 pm. Well, not really short, because instead of being able to leave at 8 am, I'll have to stay till noon. Blaah. Am not in the mood for work right now. Too many bad things happening everywhere.
Okay, okay. Am too lazy and want to spend a week sitting on my ass.
Three days to the big wedding, and I haven't bought a wedding present yet. Damn. Maybe I should go shopping.

Re: LOL!
Date: 2003-03-18 09:21 am (UTC)Pro:
1] The desire to aquire greater influence on oil production in the region. This isn't merely a US goal, mind.
2] A loss of patience with Saddam. His regime has had over a decade to cooperate with UN inspectors, and it just hasn't happened.
3] The removal of a government that is less than benevolent toward its peoples.
4] Bush thinks it'll make him popular.
5] It's too fucking late for Blair to back out.
6] Invading Iraq is quicker than trying to coerce the regime towards more civilised practices.
Anti:
1] There's no international mandate for such an action.
2] Coercion would work eventually.
3] Innocents are going to get killed.
