Thanks for reminding me of that. I was always so critical of those folks. I thought they were just terrible, yet here I am...glued to the television and computer. My only saving grace is the number of prayers I have been saying for the service men and women and the innocents caught in the middle. As to Saddam...BOY I WISH WE COULD SEE THAT MOAB.
I'm glued to the computer and to Fox News, too... the urge to keep up with what's going on is natural, and we all want to see the villain get his comeuppance. One reacts physically to such scenes in movies--at least I do when I watch
Kindergarten Cop (hey,
I liked it...) and
Die Hard--but this is real life, and if there's a plot it's not neat. Winning is more important than flash, just as the "boring" positional strategists have succeeded the flashy grandmasters of the 19th century in chess. If boredom is the price of winning at least cost, then by all means bore the heck out of us all!
(I can't believe I wrote something so dense in platitudes, but I don't know a better way to put it.)
