I am a news junkie and was reading the online news provided by CNN. Saddam Hussein is to be executed for his war crimes. It kind of threw me off guard. I think because all this time our troops have been fighting in the middle East and now a small piece of the struggle will come to an end. Or will it? By doing this will we just piss off even more people?
Ever since I was in Middle School and could understand the ramifications of a Nuclear War I have worried that we might experience one in my lifetime. Then we find out Korea has the capability, there is September 11th, and if you have traveled over seas at all you know by in large we are not the most popular country.
Now that I am becoming a Mom I am fretting even more.
I feel bad other countries have preconceived notions about us based on a few loud minority.
On the flip side though all the things we have that others want, we worked our bums off to get.
As much as I worry sometimes I just want to say "Don't hate the player, Hate the game..."

Caprise, the world can be a scary place but fortunately we don't have to worry about the whole world, just our little corner of it.
Hey Caprise!
I totally feel ya. Nuclear war is one of those things that are really scary. Gorbechev recently wrote an amazing piece for Newsweek about how we Americans need to cool it playing God with world politics, and start trying to really understand the cultures we think we can "fix". Here's the link:

Seriously, the best article I've read about world politics in YEARS. That man is truly one of the greatest in history.
