I AM NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORIST-

however, I do wonder if this war with Irag is just the end of the beginning.

What I mean is, I have been watching the progress of this war and it seems almost too easy. Sure, it is what I expected, but I fear retaliation. Perhaps I have read to many Robert Ludlum novels? Or maybe everyone is thinking the same thing. All I know, is that if I was an evil ruler, and someone came into my country and destroyed it, and made a mockery of me, I would want nothing more than to get them back- even if I died in the process. I hope that Saddam is already dead, but who knows? God. (I asked him to tell me if Saddam was dead and he told me that he wasn't a Genie in a Bottle.)

On a lighter note-

Did anyone watch the Cher special last night? I have never been a huge Cher fan, but she does have that certain allure- she is very enigmatic. I was entranced by her singing and her stage presense and her almost masculine ways. That is what I finally figured out- Cher is tough. She don't take crap, she is very beautiful, but she is not very feminine. Her voice is deep, and she carries herself in a way as if to say- "I am the baddest girl you will ever meet- I don't need to do anything to make me feel superior to you- I am superior to you." So why do people love her? Because despite her superiority, she does not belittle the little people. She is like a princess and people want to worship her- regal, supreme, great. I don't want to worship her though. Personally I think she is amazing, she is like Michael Jackson without the bad-everything- (even her plastic surgery is better), everyone knows her name, has grown up with her, admired her, and through all of it, she has remained on top. I am not a big fan, I don't like a lot of her music, but I admire her staying power, her determination, and her creativity. She is an artist, and she is a work of art.
