I feel sick.

I feel really, really sick.  I have a family member in the 101st Airborne Division and I fear for his safety.

There were reports earlier that the Turks might be planning their own little military campaign in Northern Iraq, although such a story never appeared in any of the major media outlets online.  But if that's true, it's disheartening.

It also sickens me to hear Bush make promises of democracy when the United States actively supports other brutal regimes in the region and is likely to repress the rights of the Kurds in some fashion to placate Turkey, our strong regional ally.

What will happen to US credibility once the rebuilding period begins?

Sigh.
