Take that you bastards!!!

I'm a bit under the weather today (completely unrelated to the hangover from Tuesday)...but I've been home watching Iraq explode on CNN today.

"Today, live from Baghdad...it's WAR!"

At least CNN has the courtesy to let the sounds and explosions of the attack speak for themselves. I switched over to NBC and Brokaw is asking some former army guy, "So can you tell me what type of tomahawk missle that is?" And I'm thinking to myself, "Well Tom, it's the type that goes BOOM really fucking loud...you asshole!"

On one hand it's amazing to be right there and see first hand the incredible damage our military machine can inflict...but on the other, how horrific it must be to be there right now. It's like something out of the Bible, fire is literally raining down out of the skies.

I sat there wondering if we are better off seeing this on TV, or if the horrors of war are best left to the imagination.

I couldn't decided... so I flipped over to ESPN to see how IUPUI was fairing in the NCAA tournament.

That's the great thing about TV...if you don't like what you are seeing, you can just turn the channel.

Yeah right... just turn the channel...
