Well, haven't been around here much (you're not missing out, I've mostly been ranting in my livejournal about Abu Ghraib).
I'm going to try to at least be better about commenting on friends' journal entries.
Part of the reason for my absence is that I've been flailing away at the dissertation. I just had a big meeting with the committee re: its progress and - if all goes well *knock on wood* - I should be galvagin, Ph.D. by the end of December.
So poison your philosophy professors now! I'll be needing their jobs!
Oh, and if you're reading this entry, please do this. And join the action center while you're there.

Of course, the Middle East is a strategic area b/c of the oil reserves. Having an unstable region with that much of the most important resource to the world economy is a recipe for disaster
Despite my crazy rants, this is what I'm getting at. I understand that it's too simple to say we're just taking it. But I still think our goals in "democratizing" this place have to do with making it a friendly oil supplier, and not with helping the Iraqis, or even with stopping terrorism. I mean, Bush's whole campaign is based on the fear of terrorism! He doesn't want us to think it's gone
