bloodsong1So it's the Air Force Grad day. So the Prez's here. So...fricking...what? No, I don't care. I have yet to see a President I actually hold in esteem.
You know, if someone without American's interest in mind wanted to make a statement, now would be a REALLY good time. Heartland of USA, military bases all over the place and the Prez right there. Might not take him out, but you could deal a huge morale blow. Ironically enough, I'm well within range. The stadium's only about 20-30 miles northwest of my office. We've got a fabulous view. Heh.
Nope. I knew when the Prez announced he was committing us to a "War on Terror" we were fucked. Afghanistan had to be dealt with. I understand that. That was the best target. After that, Saudi Arabia. Lebanon. Syria. Jordan. Yemen. Those are the ones funding and breeding the terrorists. They're the ones sending troops to Iraq to harass us because they have 30+ years of US foreign policy backing them up. When it gets too hot, the US turns tail. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes it takes ten years. Sooner or later, the US will run away. All you need is patience and a lot of men. We know the network has both.
I have little hope for Iraq. Either it'll be a puppet government that gets overthrown by legal elections in a year, or it'll start out the way the Iraqis want. Let them have a theocracy. It's not always a bad thing. Yes, they're sexually repressed. You can't force change, the people have to WANT it. They don't. Leave them alone. They'll either evolve or stagnate. Not our problem.
