"no war in iraq!!"

at the suggestion of shem, i checked out the blog of an iraqi citizen, as well as some of the anti-war links on his page. i've always been against war, but had never heard from those that the US bombs. something that jumped out at me on his page was this quote: "the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." by samuel p. huntington. i had never thought of it quite that way... all of this definitely strengthened the pacifism within me! :)
