So there are some buttons going around (at least, in my local area and/or school) that are promoting the US to *not* goto war with Iraq. I am a kid who agrees with this notion that the reasons the American people have seen so far are not enough, by any means, to declare war with Iraq. For the record, I will state that I do not claim to be an authority on the United State's international politics, UN relations, or any sort of terrorist threat expert, however the only reasons that I have heard for declaring war have been absurd. I won't get into it because I'm sure the media has already bombarded you faithful American citizens with reasons for and against Dubya's undying, uncompromised obsession with killing thousands of innocent people, however here are a few of my favorite. "Weapons of Mass destruction! Holy crap! Lets annihilate them!" -Dubya. No. I believe that the UN is looking for these "uber-death weapons" and has yet to find any, but Dubya doesn't care because a) he wants oil for cheaper and b) Dubya is holding some bs personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein from over 10 years ago. You may be a good son, but your a crappy president. The Onion puts it best. Back to the buttons. These buttons circulating state "WAR - not in my name". While I have one of these buttons, my friend Maggie has brought up a very good point. If your name was Warren, than war *would* be in your name. Remind me never to talk politics again. MTV is totally awesome. They are doing "Spankin New Bands Week". Now, the spankin' new bands include The Donna's, New Found Glory and Good Charlotte. It might be interesting to note tho, that The Donna's (a very good band), after releasing various singles and a full self titled CD, put out their first big label album in 1998. Yes, 1998. 5 years ago. Yes, 2003...Spankin new. New Found Glory was formed in 1997. Lets see...thats......6 years ago, and Good Charlotte formed SEVEN years ago, in 1996. A message for Mtv: Just because a band signed with an Mtv friendly Label -or- your music director makes the decision to give a band air time does not make a band 'new'. P.S. My newborn baby cousin will be starting 2nd grade on Monday, so wish him luck.
