Politically correct

I'm very excited today to have gotten 2 books State of War and The Da Vinci Code

Have started to read both of them :) simultaneously, but am inclinded to wrap up State of war first, as I'd like to see how it can related to what I read in the Plan of Attack by Bob Woodward. I highly recommend Plan of attack and Bob is an gifted writer. His presentation skills are amazing.

I've had this great feeling of following the Bush's war Gulf war and now Iraq war. As I remember, during Gulf war, CNN exploded in the media world in Asia or India( I should say ) and it was so thrilling to see a real war on TV. Iraq or Saddam's army firing those strings of missiles in the dark, black sky, on the incoming figther jets and bombers.

I'd have not believed myself to be in US soil to witness a war, the most deplorable act of human kind, Iraq war or the war based on vendatta or to its core, a war based on lies.

Time and time again I've had thoughts about pouring out my auguish about this war, as I've watched countless hours of lame excuses right from the days of 9/11 till this moment. But, well to a great part I feel ashamed to been the witness of a ruthless act.

This war or the hatred is far, far from over. What has been opened is a can of worms and only time will tell as how many of them will lhave severe biological, toxic and long term effects. Those would certainly be the days after Bush and may be many of his successors( as the President of the United States ) are long gone.

Mistakes can be covered only by mistakes, I had to strongly believe after Bush's reelection. I'd leave this topic here as I've a boat load to write, but would keep this topic open.

Back to books, The Da Vinci Code interested me for couple of reasons,
1. Reviews about the book
2. Ron Howard/Tom Hanks interest to bring it to the screen.

Those two are some of the best talents of our times, in my opinion and their hard-work and dedication simply amazes me.

I can't wait to see that movie in big-screen, while I also want to experience the thrill of reading a book and watching it in full-screen. Will write back on this also.
