This whole Iraq issue is really getting old. I’m tired of it. I want it to just go away. Not because I’m an ignorant American who is too focused on his own life to care about anything else, but because I’m an American who has been following the issue very closely since the beginning when last July Bush was looking at the legal ramifications. Now, on the verge of a decisive decision, I want to throw my arms up and just stay "whatever."

I’m not anxious to start the attack, nor am I anxious to stop the war. There are two sides to this coin, and I’m sitting on the rim of the coin in pure apathy. The only question in my mind is, “will this stop (or help the fight against) terrorism?” Then I laugh.

Either way terrorism is going to continue. Nobody is going to see a difference. That’s the scary part about terrorism; it’s everyone and no one at the same time. To kill one terrorist is to make another. There will always be someone on the verge of becoming one, and a war like this will push them over. Instead of telling the world that we are a peaceful society, we blindly attack them. It fits right into their stereotype of us and it fuels them on. At the same time if we coward away from it now, it will only fuel them on.

I don’t care anymore. Why should I care about a war that in the end doesn’t matter if we fight or go home?
