I really should stop blogging about the war. This was never supposed to be a war blog, but the pictures I see every day on the tv are too compelling.Things over there are getting a bit mental, on both sides, and it's making me mad.
First we see a another example of trigger happy yanks, their tank firing into the hotel containing international reporters. They say they were recieving incoming sniper fire from the area near the hotel. Bullshit! The Iraqis are mostly armed with AK47s, which absolutely do NOT have the range to hit anything from there, and as for an RPG firing from such a position... it's laughable. The tank gunner clearly lacked a decent target and figured 'that building over there looks good... lets see if we can hit it'.
Then down in Basra, we see massed looting, mobbing of aid convoys, and general mayhem. The moment their opressors are removed, they go nuts and trash everything. Fair enough, they need to let off steam, but what're they gonna do when things calm down, they need to go shopping, visit a hospital, do every day stuff..... and oh dear, everything's trashed... by themselves.
It's all nuts.
Yeah, I know, that's what war's like and we should expect nothing different, but irrational, illogical behaviour just makes me wanna hit people. That's not logical is it?
Stop it at once... or at least... bomb the shit out of them properly and stop being so silly.
