I just heard Alistair Cooke, from the BBC, reading his current "Letter from America".

Mr. Cooke finally spoke about the Iraq War, and here's what he said at the end;

"I've put it to many people, including a famous philosopher and a leading delegate of a major member of the Security Council.

Last March, if you had a choice of agreeing to invade or having the UN approve a three-month round of more inspections, what third alternative would you have had in mind? No answer.

The true, unconfessed alternative was to say - okay, Saddam, you win; go about your missiles and your labs. We'll wait till you try to shatter Israel overnight, acquire a flock of allies and become king of Arabia, and then by golly we'll start to fight you.

That was, in March, the true alternative on everyone's mind that dared not speak its name. "

Here's the full letter to read if you're interested, Why the war couldn't wait.

I finished my art history paper, but I have no idea of whether it's good or not. I have no idea of what professors look for in an art paper. I received A's on my last two art history class papers, so I don't think I'll do too badly.

I have my modern art history paper due tomorrow. What a drag! Writing papers is my least favourite part of school.

At least I've got a title:

Painting Common Objects: The New Image Paintings of Jennifer Bartlett and Elizabeth Murray

So here's another thing in common I have in common with some of my friends.

We hate Ralph Nader with a passion and wish to God the stupid idiot would stop running for president!
