“Shock and Awe” is in effect. CNN is showing images of massive bombardment of Baghdad. Three cities and the peninsula that contains the oil are under coalition (US) control. Turkey is sending soldiers to the Kurdish section of Northern Iraq. The US is warning them not to – did US military advisors really believe this wouldn’t happen? This feels like a domino effect for a worldwide event – the queasy feeling grows. I feel like wanting to hibernate, putting my possessions in storage and traveling. The only thing that keeps me from doing this is the knowledge of having a BA in a month-and-a-half. That, and I’m receiving a lot of freelance work (three new clients this month!).
