I just got off the phone with hagar_972, the snafu situation I talked about in my previous post is in the OK.

Happiness.
Relief.

It's better.

Good. You (and her) need all the good news you can get at the moment.

I am glad to hear things are better. Things could be worse you could have George W. Bush as your PM and you would be also fighting Syria, Iraq, and who knows where else.

Hi I'd like to friend you, if you don't mind. Your journal's interesting and it's always good to see more people interested in gender theory and feminism. I wonder if you've read Carol J. Adams' The Sexual Politics of Meat and bell hooks' Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center. Good reads.

I havne't read those particular books, but I'm always gobblingup information.

I'll friend you back, since I've rifled through your journal as well, you're a very good writer.
The only thing that worries me is that you seem to be quite anti-Israel with quite a bit of vitriol.
Other than that side of you politics your journal is also very interesting.
In any event, I look froward to getting to know you :)

Thanks! And I have to admit my tone in certain posts doesn't hide my anger and frustration over the conflict and the Canadian media reporting of it. I should clarify that although I am against Israeli Zionist policies and aggression, I hold no hatred towards Israel itself and its existence, Israelis or Jews, as ultimately I would like to see a two state solution to the Palestine issue. While I sympathise with Israel's need for security for its civilians, I don't agree with their methods. Israel, the USA, even my own country of origin, India, don't realize that most of their security problems are very much the result of their own (terrorizing, dividing, us vs. them mentality) policies.

However, I would like you to know that I'm looking forward to reading about your views with an open mind since you're much closer to these issues than I am, so hopefully I'll gain better insight of this issue. I enjoy talking to people who have different views than myself (though I don't think we're that different!) because those discussions usually lead to a deeper understanding of very complex issues such as this.

This a link to all the posts I've made about the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, I've been serving in the reserve, so I've been steeped in it quite deep. I hope this gives you a better understanding of the issues. Yes, Israel's methods are far from stellar, but really... if there was another way, we would have used it and I speak as someone who felt what we were doing was inhumane.

In any event, I'll be glad to get to know you and your own views :)
