on the porch - 24.feb.03

Best thing today was whales. All manner of whale activity. Some of the best activity was right out in Kailua Bay. No way my camera could take a picture of the whales - but, I did snap a great white on the porch.

Okay, why am I opposed to Mr Bush's war? (1) what has Saddam Hussein done to me lately? (2) I will admit that he is not a nice man - but there are lots of "not nice" men in charge of countries (3) it doesn't seem very nice for our side to kill a bunch of civilians to take out Saddam (4) I believe that who ever comes after Saddam will be a whole bunch worse guy - both for the US and the Iraqi people. The new leader will not be an old-fashioned despot like Saddam, but a fundamentalist Muslim leader.

Hopefully, I am wrong and the Iraqi people will greet the US troops as liberators. And democracy will flourish. And pigs will fly.
