I Can't Believe, We're on The Eve of Destruction...

Probably a day before a new Iraq War will begin, and I'm amazed at how peaceful and beautiful the Swan River looks, outside my office, as if nothing is happening anywhere...

Continue to be barraged by anti-war e-mails, mainly courtesy of friends in LA who are up to their necks in civil opposition - I guess it's not really disobedience yet, unless you count naughty frat-house antics, like putting "WAR" stickers below the wording on Stop Signs.

But here's a guy who can still see something positive about how this whole situation has been discussed... Robert Muller was there at the founding of the United Nations, and sees todays dialogue (he calls it "Waging Peace") as exciting, unprecedented, and a sensational vindication of the UN's role. I hope that his optimism isn't washed away in a rain of bombs and blood by tomorrow. Have a read.
