Well, he does keep them guessing.

When Bush was elected, everyone thought he was going to invade Iraq first. But then he surprised us all by attacking Afghanistan first.

Then, everyone expected him to attack Syria after Iraq, but it looks like it's gonna be Iran next after all. And the best news? He wants to play with his newest nuclear toys! Yep, that's right. If Bush has his way, the United States is going to be the first country to nuke another country since... well, since the United States. Part of that "150 years of unbroken friendship between the United States and Japan".

Oh, yeah, the article I'm talking about: US considers use of nuclear weapons against Iran

Hey, bring on the nuclear holocaust. After all, if there's one thing we learned from comic books, it's that radiation gives you superpowers!

I just hope there's no afterlife, because it would be so embarassing to have to tell everyone that I was killed in a nukuler war.

After reading the article, can you explain to me the rational for the belief that having civilians in charge of the military is a good idea?

some officers have talked about resigning after an attempt to remove the nuclear option from the evolving war plans in Iran failed, according to the report.

The [Pentagon] adviser warned that bombing Iran could provoke "a chain reaction" of attacks on American facilities and citizens throughout the world and might also reignite Hezbollah.

"If we go, the southern half of Iraq will light up like a candle," the adviser is quoted as telling The New Yorker.

I feel that we should have been watching Iran all along, but the bush-heads were hell-bent of Saddam. So while we have been busy trying to save a country that doesn't appear to want to be saved... at least by us, our real enemies - the ones with the potential to actually hurt us, have teched up to nuclear warfare delivery systems.

And I am not so embarrased about the after life as I am thinking that some day, intelligent life from another planet might visit the earth long after we have destroyed it and have a good laugh at our expense. Can you imagine?

"Are you trying to tell me that these "intelligent life forms" polluted their own atmosphere, water and food - and eventually obliterated the entire thing to benefit a few guys in the business of selling oil just to drive gas guzzling cars when they could have made something cleaner?"

no one will believe it. If we are ever visited by some social archeologist they will never, in a million years, think we were so stupid as we really are.
