I am sitting here glued to the television, nervously flipping between the 24 hour news channels to see if there has been any sign of aggression by our military. The talking heads seem to be of the opinion that nothing is going to happen – daylight is breaking over Baghdad. (It’s surreal to note that the audio from Baghdad clearly indicates the chirping of birds – it could easily be the dawning of a new day anywhere in the world.)
I, like so many other American and British citizens, am waiting to see how the President and his well-trained troops (both American and British) will respond to Saddam’s continued defiance.
I am feeling anxious. My pulse has quickened noticeably – and my hands have gotten clammy. I can’t imagine how the President, his staff, the military men and women and their families are feeling.
Is it wrong of me to hope that we kill the bastard and his lackeys in one fell swoop?
