war and fences

ok so i watched colin powell address the U.N.
if you read back a few pages you'll see i watched it while on jury duty
it was an odd and yet perfect place to watch Mr. Powell present his case

i guess i was left where i had been before.
absolutely convinced that saddam hussein is a nasty, prickly, sneaky, slimy, murderous, dictator

but then that's never been my apprehension about taking him out pronto

my fear is that...with the threat of us attacking him hanging over his head
he might just be smart enough and scared enough to cave in, completely

but if we just attack him, than he will mostly likely pull out all his nasty little secret weapons that he probably has hidden in his underwear drawer and his plumbing system

i also do think it's important to prove our case, to land the world support we need
because there's no sense losing our allies for future endeavors over this cowardly little mo-fo

i know he has to go
we all know he has to go

i think even he knows he has to go

but it's the how and when that's tricky

i must say as a writer, caterer, painter, NYer, i feel qualified to bitch and moan and kvetch and rally about a whole list of many and assorted things

but i don't feel qualified to rant on this one

i'm still sitting on the fence

i can only hope that some of the higher ups have a lot more no-how
than i do

but i will tell you this
if our country does decide to go to war against Iraq

they damn well better take his ass out this time
and not leave him to grow and fester like we did last time

i'll tell you something else too

if we decide to annihilate him

then i won't hear of anyone
sitting around denouncing our troops
calling anyone "baby killers" like we did in Vietnam

if we go to war
then the time to be anti-war is over
and the time to support your brothers and sisters fighting for their lives
will be on

yes i'm on the fence
but no way am i not gonna stand by our guys and gals if we send them over there

meanwhile
since i can't offer any expert opinions here
i think i'll shut the fuck up
