Stupid people.

Stupid people start doing stupid stuff and then other people fight them about the stuff and say that they're smart. I would sort of like to say, "I told you so" about Iraq and how people were decieved--but the thing is it's not a children's matter no matter how childish people insist on acting. People died under Hussein. I'm sure people are dying now--I wonder if they have basic services up and running. And now Bush & co. are saying, well, our intelligence may have been faulty. We may have said stuff we shouldn't have. But it wasn't really our fault. And the prisoners at Guantanamo are still in limbo.

See, I would like to dismiss him as a warmongering idiot. I'd like to have something concrete, whether it's a concession that he's really doing the best he can or the certainty that he's deliberately trying to mislead the American people.

I just don't know what to think. Except that people are stupid. And even that's not concrete.

A few conversations about politics were fairly interesting. The British and the Irish teams don't think very much of our leader. One of them flat-out asked me if I thought he was an idiot? What do you say to that?

Heck. I wish I could figure out just what patriotism is. It's less clearly defined as "school spirit."
