If you missed it yesterday, here's a video from 3/21/2003 featuring my calm rant re: the just-started Iraq war

I posted this yesterday but thought it was worth pointing out again in case anyone missed it yesterday. Here's the description that goes with the video:

Seven years ago yesterday (as I type this, anyway), on March 21, 2003, I posted this video on my old blog at http://thepete.com. It contains a very calm rant, pointing out a few concerns I had about invading another country unprovoked. Before Abu Ghraib, before the non-existent WMD, before Falujah, before Blackwater, I felt that America was acting like it knew best and that it new better than everyone else (which would go on to work out SO well!). I also accused it of violating the UN Charter (http://goo.gl/lVv2). This was an opinion then UN SecGen Kofi Annan would go onto express as well (http://goo.gl/osxm).

Ah well, too bad the video was posted way back in 2003 before watching videos online was a big thing.
