This is fun.  I promise.  I think.

I’ve been reading the great “Are Americans war criminals” debate diaries and feeling kind of bad.  I’ve even felt compelled to jump in with my take here or there.  And that is no fun.  I am not much for conflict.  I know.  Strange trait for a lawyer.  But that’s why I’m in mid-career change, I suppose.  Also why I am at Booman Tribune, I suppose.

So, while I really think the ideas being discussed are important, I am hating the process.  And I thought of this diary as a way to 1) discuss the ideas further, 2) in a fun way, that will hopefully 3) unite us and not divide us (can’t believe I’m using his phrases).  Read on, if you’re interested.

I’m not feeling all that much like writing.  We all go through patches, I suppose.  So, if you clicked here thinking you were going to get some long, perhaps entertaining, perhaps boring, recitation — some slice of my life — sorry to disappoint you.

But I have to write this.  We — the American community — do need to take action to try to stop our President and his bullshit war.  And I need to co-opt your bandwidth for five minutes.

I know there are some Michigan posters on here.  I am reaching out to them.  My local anti-war group will be holding a Peace Vigil to honor the fallen soldiers in Iraq when their number grows to 2000.  The vigil will also beg our fellow citizens for the sanity of peace.  If you are anywhere near mid-Michigan, please consider joining us at this vigil.
