If you are one of the many Americans who support our war on Iraq, I’d like to propose you try the following exercise at home:

Step 1. Read this weblog now. If nothing else, read the following rant. Bonus points if you troll through the archives and notice how much in common that the author has with most young people who write on the web these days.

Back from reading it? Ok. Clear your mind.

Step 2. Imagine that the author of that weblog was a victim of collateral damage during our bombing campaign, which is only a few hours away.

In the face of this human loss, justify our administration’s war plans. Consider how many lives—both American and Iraqi— will be lost due to the administration’s arrogance.
