dis-ease

CBC News reports:

1) Al Zarqawi was killed by the U.S. military--is this good? Could be, but we're also now part of the revenge cycle (quid pro quo, as they say). Does that validate the situation? Are we fuelling the volatility that exists in the Middle East?

2) A new vaccine has been created to help prevent HPV--a potentially great moment for the future (unknown) sufferers of cervical cancer.

3) CSIS was successful in dismantling a plan to attack various points in Ottawa and Toronto--folks are now debating whether this would have been a "Canadian 9-11" and whether there is danger that the Canadian public is not being made aware of.


All potentially "good" news, all unsettling when I think about how violent our world is right now. If given the chance, would I go to Lebanon and be in a region that is itself regenerating its own volatility? Or, do I stay home and face potential attacks? Or, further, do I live my life in some relaxed way (as I've been trying) and find that, eventually, cancer will rear its ugly head. None is a great option. And, possibly, I'm just overreacting.

Not a good day for decisions, I s'pose. And certainly not a good day to let my imagination run wild-- (not too sure how to end this post--will get back to it another time).
