war exhaustion

I’m having a difficult time keeping up with the war. It’s difficult to focus on – there is SO much news coverage, but very little news. And you know you’re not really getting the full story either, of course.

Some lists I’m on have cut and pastes from al-jazeera and russian sources (as well as Indymedia etc) which I keep meaning to go back and read (again critically, because they all have agendas to contend with as well) but I never do, because there’s another one along half an hour later.

In a sense, it feels pretty ridiculous posting stuff up here about music when bombs are raining down on Baghdad, but one has to cheer oneself up somehow…
