Sometimes I really, really hate computers. It's taken me over 2 hours to get on the internet this evening, all because something installed itself on my computer and acted as a firewall, so I couldn'y go to any websites, download email through Outlook, or even use MS Messenger. Makes me very, very angry.
Anyway, fixed now, thank God. It does make me feel really good when I have a major problem like that and end up solving it. That's me in a good mood for about the next 2 hours before I head off to bed...
I read in the news today about the shooting of a family of 7 women and children in Iraq by US soldiers at a checkpoint near Basra. It seems there's been a lot of reaction by anti-war types condemning the killings, but I find myself believing the soldiers' accounts in that firing into the passenger compartments was an absolute last resort. Apparently there had been verbal warnings, shots fired into the air and shots fired into the engine before any were fired at the passengers. With all due respect to the innocent Iraqi citizens, coalition forces need to protect themselves from the possibility of suicide bombings like the one earlier in the weekend, and if a car does not stop after all of those warnings, extreme force must be used. This reminds me of the case of Lee Clegg, where a similar type of situation occurred. Which in turn reminds me that I really need to start doing some revision, instead of wasting my day on the internet and helping my dad build a bloody gazebo in our back garden. Nicely cut-up hands tonight, cheers Dad.
