All apologies

E-word,

It was good getting a call from you, and I'm really looking forward to the Joos shirt. I haven't gotten a band tee since almost 2 years ago, when I saw Iron and Wine, and actually that might have been one of the last shows I'd been to.

I've been sitting here for a little while thinking about what you said about Iran, and being a fairly apolitical person, I've come to the conclusion that the main thing wrong with bombing Iran is economic, at least for me. I mean, the loss of life is terrible, but even beyond that, who is paying for this?

Originally I even supported the war on Iraq, based on the simplistic reasoning that even if we're going to war under false pretenses, we're getting rid of a tyrant and thus making life better for Iraqis. I still think that idea is a good one in principal. We have the power, why don't we make the world a better place with it? Of course, the implementation as far as I can see from the news has been pretty poor, and Iraqi lives over all don't seem all that much better.

It's all very naive, which while embarrassing I'm still willing to admit. I still believe that attacking tyranny is a good thing (well, the funny thing is if our administration says that, it is kind of ironic), but if the implementation is always going to be as bad as Iraq, well, then it's not such a good thing. Maybe it's just too complicated.

Anyway, I had a whole thing I wanted to talk about with regards to boredom, but I'll talk about that tomorrow.

How are things? :)
