Got grade for Project 3. I got a 98 -- the TA took off points because my code lacked function headers (which isn't true). Did normal stuff yesterday -- went to class, played games, etc. Some of my friends took me out to dinner at River Mill. And I watched CSI with nius, rainbowsaber, yubbie, and nviibrown. vt_komainu came in just in time to find out that he forgot to buy cat litter, so he ran me home while he was out.

We watched CNN before CSI. You hear stuff about the looting of Baghdad. They think Saddam's buried in a pile of rubble. And meanwhile, the people are going nuts, looting museums with priceless Sumerian artifacts. That's what really angers me. This war has resulted in utter chaos, and the Marines aren't doing a damn thing about it -- except, of course, to protect the Oil Ministry, the only government building to have a 24-hour guard placed on it. While they're fiddling, the city burns around them. And they don't give a damn.

[sarcasm]But at least we rid the world of an evil dictator.[/sarcasm] And to them, I guess that's all that matters. That and going after the next guy. They're starting to warn Syria to "stop supporting terrorism". Does anyone else notice a pattern here? Say, I've got a funny thought -- Before the US decides to go bomb Syria, how about they the clean up the damn mess they made in Iraq first?
