Yes, Wee, I'm actively pursuing change within my limited means and within the law, of course. But I'm also a part of the environment, and I'm not anti-establishment.

For example, I have unwavering respect for our soldiers fighting overseas. I think they are incredibly strong and brave, even if I don't always agree with how the war is being prosecuted.

And I feel ... relieved to learn that someone like Al Zaqarqi is dead. I'm glad. And I'm sickend that I feel that way, because I wish I were better than that. Taking joy in his death, to me, seems little different than the joy he took in killing. But part of me wants to see this revenge.


Lest the message become lost in party politics, please note that although Republicans are now in power, I really feel that the blame goes all around. For me, no one person or party gets all the credit ... even if some people or parties deserve more credit than others.
