AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I just typed this huge response and the whole damn thing was lost to an ERROR!! aaaaaa! I can't believe that just happened.
Alright. So here goes, short and to the point.

I wrote my comment last night after watching a bunch war stuff on TV. I had just seen what had been playing on Iraqi TV and Al-Jeezera and I was in a mood.

Anyway, I don't think her whole article is crap after re-reading it. I agree with her on quite a few things, but I disagree too. AND I just totally outlined all of my thoughts in a really GOOD comment to you that I just lost!!!! I am so mad, it's all Saddam's fault if ya ask me.
Anyway, I'm not going to write it all out again, because frankly, I've wasted a good chunk of my day doing that and looking up facts and links too. GRRRRRR..

You're right, I overreacted. I really did want to tell you exactly what I objected to though. I just REALLY don't want to retype it all. Maybe later, I'm sure it's going to annoy me now ;P

I believe you on your word. I know you wouldn't agree with it all, I also know that there is plenty of common sense in you to really read it well. So you have now. Don't bother having to prove it, your word is good enough for me. We shouldn't let this take over our lives, however strange it is, it is far from you and from me, tomorrow for us will be a regular monday again.

You are absolutely right, it's taken up enough of my Sunday for sure. Still, I really wanted to say all those things I typed in my response, but I'm so stupid...I went to post the comment and I had done it all on line..it was too long and when I went back it was GONE. I should've thought of that, but I haven't been that long winded since somewhere near 9/11 and I forgot about the word limits!!
I really am tired of all this stuff and how much it tends to get to me sometimes.

Please don't let it get to you. Think of yourself as well!
