thebitterguyI'd like you all to go scrolling through your friends list. Take a look through them.
Now think. Is there anyone on there who hates each other?
Okay, maybe not HATES, but don't get along? Have had issues? Difficulties?
(and if you've got![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thirdelement, it doesn't count. He hates everyone.)
Looking over it, I see at least two on mine. Maybe another two, but not really.
It's odd. Sure, some of them don't qualify as 'friends' (I always say, it should be 'chums' list. Or 'nodding acquaintances' list). And you have to wonder how much actual animosity is left there.
And it does look like the war is mostly won. Which we can only thank God for. Even if it was done for wrong reasons (whatever reasons Ari puts forward at the next conference), it was a good thing. Hussein was one of the really bad guys out there.
I just wish they'd been able to do it without 'accidentally' lobbing missiles and tank shells into press buildings, but hey.
I wonder if we can hope to see some similar regime change in Africa. Some of those central bastards give bloodthirsty dictators a bad name. If Idi Amin is going "hey, man, you gotta relax" it's bad.
I've had a line running through my head for a couple weeks: "If it must be done, let it be done quickly". Where the hell is that from?
