(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Wednesday, November 19, 2003
Riverbend gives us the victim's view on our war on terrorism. She thinks our emulation of the worst tactics of the Israelis isn't winning us any friends or fans. Or, see the above Alex Ross pic. That will probably be true for generations to come.
Here's what she says:
"The troops were pushing women and children shivering with fear out the door in the middle of the night. What do you think these children think to themselves- being dragged out of their homes, having their possessions and houses damaged and burned?! Who do you think is creating the 'terrorists'?!! Do you think these kids think to themselves, "Oh well- we learned our lesson. That's that. Yay troops!" It's like a vicious, moronic circle and people are outraged." posted by Philip Shropshire3:28 AM
