I'm catching up on news, because I'm at work with no work to be done. There's no graceful way out of Iraq. There's no safe way out of Iraq. People are going to continue dying. We have a tiger by the tail. The tiger is pissed. The tiger has killed over 3000 sons of America and broken more hearts and families than I can dismiss from my mind.
And now we're fucking with Iran, who is going to build their nuclear program regardless of what the world does. They're not going to change their mind after such staunch and absolute statements concerning their right to nuclear power. Political and economic pressures, sanctions, embargoes aren't going to do anything except make the entire country hungry, tired, and angry at US. Why don't we make friends with a government that is going to be a nuclear power regardless of our pressures?
Or we could invade, and continue to lose the valiant of our generation in the sand. Iranian officials have vowed to cut off the hands of invaders. Operation Global Harmony veterans who fought in Iran will have hooks to prove it. I don't care to guess what the veterans who come out of North Korea will bear as evidence, when we spread our protective arms into that country as well.
I hope you're all ready to make history, because its coming, and they'll have to rewrite the text books. Join a cause, or flee. Fight or hide, because if you don't stand for something, the draft will teach you how to march.

I'm fleeing, I even had a Serious Talk with my mom about the possibility of my moving to Canada.
Yeah, it's worrisome. Gone are the days when you could whisper in the ears of your enemies that one of them had talked smack about the other, and get them to war that way.
I actually find watching the show Futureweapons to be quite reassuring. It's a show about war, yes, but it's basically showing how the US and its allies have the biggest and baddest guns.
But the biggest shame is that we have to have them.
