Okay if you say so. Thanks for responding.My obsession seems more like standing vigil to protect people. It seems like I have to be there. I have to stand with them. I know that's crazy but I honestly don't think going out on the streets a and screaming is going to help either or I'd do that too. Even if I turn the TV off I can hear planes etc from the base near me. I can't ever forget. I am also obsessed with torture. I keep thinking about all the Kuwaiti prisoners who have been missing all these years since the first Gulf War. No one ever says anything about them. Do you think they'll be left alive if The US goes into Bagdhad but I think I would would want to hear the bombs and know someone was finally coming even if I was dead before they came. I'd take that chance. I'd want to die knowing I hadn't been forgotten. So it's all gotten personal to me and in other ways as well. It's not just checking a body count. And the chemicals,etc. What I worry about is smallpox or something like that being set loose. End of the World time. No going back now total helplessness. Armageddon awaits.
So have a nice day! Sorry to dump all this on you. You're a very kind person. Thanks I'm supposed to go see a councellor Tues. I feel like I don't really want someone to see me this crazy but I guess that's kind of the point.
