The Big One
I think it is entirely possible we're heading for the big encounter. The possibility of not a world war, but a very brief and very intense war is hovering on the near horizon. Iran is emboldened by the impotence and incompetence of our leadership, as well as the bogged-downness of our misadventure in Iraq.
Bush's foreign policy is certainly impotent. But it's dangerous to poke fun or threaten an impotent man that is well armed.
The United States cannot afford a misadventure in Iran like it is currently mired in in Iraq. But cowboy Bush just might be thinking that this is the perfect time to cruise missile and possibly nuke Iran back into the stone age.
Iraq under Hussein posed no threat to the US. Iran, emboldened by our quagmire in Iraq and possibly nuclear armed is a threat to the US. Our mindless, born again, support of Israel blinds us. There are dumb-ass leaders leading the US and Iran right now. The perfect storm is brewing.
Hope to see you on the other side.

I do wonder how it will end...
I agree with you wholeheartedly. We have some nincompoops running this, sadly. Hope all is well with you. Teaching next semester?
It does feel like very dangerous times.
