Logical Feeling

Reflecting upon the posts from the first week I started to notice that many people were indirectly affected by Iraq War. Many people knew friends or neighbors who were in the military, however, not their immediate family. Majority of the bloggers probably felt sympathy for the ones affectly directly by the war, and through apathy were they indirectly affected, very much similar to the relationship between Bartleby and the Lawyer. As an individual living in this nation at war, most people wouldn't say that the Iraq has not affected them a bit or that they don't care about the issues related to the War, thinking that way would make them feel very unpatriotic. I think it's this feeling that is controling the logic that people use to describe their relationship to the war.
