Yesterday and today, I listened to the news in the morning for three
minutes, and the I quit the war for the day.
The media, no matter what their stance, have invested heavily in this
war, so after spending all that money, you've got to squeeze some
airtime out of that, right? Right. And whip it up with some tense-
sounding jingles.

Jason Kottke makes sense (though I disagree with his theory
on hypocrisy);

Whether truly blogging from Bagdad or not

[Update: cancelled]
Bush: 'Our long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity is finally Over'
comic relief from the Onion.
"Don't idealise the soldiers fighting this unjust war"
Let us hope that Saddam is gone by the end of next month - and George W. Bush by the end of next year (from The Times, of all papers!)
"The United States of America has gone mad":
John Le Carré in, again, The Times, which seems to shed off a little of
the conservatism it gained the last two decades.
And me? I still stand by what I wrote a month ago.
