I read something interesting today. "Bush is the Devil himself, and you can't beat a Shaitan. Saddam will magically appear in cuffs two months before the elections and American soldiers will be at their homes partying by New Year's. The ground will start spitting up WMD's and al-Qaeda links the moment he touches the ground with his nose, and he will be the next american president."

Here's me making an effort at being politically conscious. At heart, I am actually extremely apolitical - I hate conflict and arguing moot issues, I mostly prefer to be couped up in my bubble listening to the Beatles; and not be bothered by all the suffering and injustice that goes on in the world. It is a daily struggle between the half of me that just wants to chill and enjoy what's going on in my surroundings--knowing fully well that my voice can't make an impact on people's lives halfway across the world--and the side that feels selfish and beligerant not speaking out against what I know is wrong...
