Times Log

Friday: I have no idea why, but I 'm still shocked to read about all of the suicide bombings, terrorist attacks, and other chaos in the middle east. Every day there is a new story about the lack of progress going on overseas. I feel like it's gotten to the point that people just glance over such stories because they're so commonplace. For example, in today's Times there was an article about not one, not two, but three suicide bombings in Iraq that claimed the lives of 80 individuals. These series of attacks are specifically notable because they boast the highest level of kills in one day since February 2008. With such violence still going on, I wonder if it will ever stop or even get better. I, like most of the world, look forward to the day that such stories no longer appear in the paper, not because of ignorance, but because of occurrence.
