why wy?

Have finally switched from old to new blogger, and just realised you can't edit shared blogs that are still on old blogger. So nat, you can post to pickle sisters (sorry no updates, I haven't been cooking), and mirili people, please migrate soon (I have been reading).

"I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking,” The last letter from Saddam Hussein, which is a strange turn from a man who has always been associated with war. I guess looming death can do that to you.

I saw a tiny picture of him in my new non-beta yahoo inbox, and I mistook it for a fancy byline photo of some journalist - then realised it was Saddam, in a crumpled suit and shot like it could be in GQ. Crimes against humanity aside (something I think most world leaders are guilty of, directly or indirectly), I prefer his lean grizzly prison look to the content military despot look.
