As I write this, NPR is streaming live on my computer. I’m almost thankful that I don’t have a TV because I would be wrapped around it, hungry for news of the war. I just heard that 16 soldiers died in a helicopter- the first major loss, on “our” side. Who knows what has happened on “their” side. I can’t help but wonder if this is going to be just like the war in Afghanistan, if a year from now we will have forgotten about the fact that we haven’t caught Hussein, just like we never caught Bin Laden. Huh. Apparently we are still not in “all out war”. Kudos to the demonstrators around the world- even though you are preaching to the choir, and even though our president turns a deaf ear- I applaud you.

Tonight was my orientation for the Central Park EMS. But I will have to write about it later. Too distracted.
