This day in particular, I've been wondering what would be happening if John Lennon was still alive. I wonder what he'd be doing against war.

I'm tired of this war talk, and it's been just a day or so. I for one am anti-war. Because countries are run by a dozen of people. They are the ones who hate another dozen, from another country. They should fight the war themselves. Not send soldiers, the poor soldiers. Like they had something to do there. It is very brave to defend your country like that, but I wonder...I wonder.

The civilians have a life of their own, you know? They pay bills and raise children, I think they're too busy to "hate" another country.

Well, that's all I say because I don't feel like ranting about it, and I'm sure you appreciate that, given that I'm a pacifist (so bomb me).
