I haven't put much of a political nature on this blog, mostly because other people do it so much better than I can. If I attempted to post about things political, you'd be seeing things such as "Bush is evil. Cheney is a crinimal." I just find it very difficult to organize my thoughts when it comes to world events, politics, etc.
It's looking more and more like BushCo, regardless of what most of us think, are going to take "military action" against Iran. This administration has already shown a complete disregard for the opinions of the citizens as well a complete disregard for actual facts. Despite the helplessness I feel surrounding this situation, I think it's important for all of us to do whatever we can to remind people that "military action" means killing innocent civilians, environmental disasters, destroying historic treasures and spending mountains of money that should be going toward helping people (health care, schools, housing, alternative energy - the list is practically endless.) Most citizens of the US probably couldn't find Iran on a map, much less conjure up an image of that country, and, guess what? Iranians don't really seem all that different from you or me. From what I can tell from pictures I've seen, it's also a beautiful country and Bush and his buddies want to blow it up. I can't believe that they can get away with even talking about it. They'll do it anyway and convince enough of us it's what we want. And the f***ing democrats will go right along with it. When do we get to impeach them?
I'd like to thank all you people who, day after day, remind us of what is happening both in this country and in the rest of the world. Keep it up.
Here's a little slide show I found on YouTube. I would guess there are lots of others out there.

It takes very little imagination to look at those images and see Paris, London, Stockholm, Tokyo, Seattle, even Milwaukee. I remember seeing a similar slideshow about Iraq, what now seems like eons ago. I frequently wonder about the people who were in those pictures ... what has become of them? Greed trumps all, in this world.
Now who's turning into mom? :-P
Oh, I'm so glad to see this post. You wrote with eloquence here about the arrogance and desperation of the crime family that is hold the country hostage.
It pairs up with many American's general ignorance about geography and other cultures. Anglo/European is good. Other is dirty and sinister.
I have such a soft spot for Iran and its people....except for the fanatics. This video made me melt. Thank you so much.
Beyond words. Thanks, Mr Ether.........
Suzy: Yep, you said it.
Cinderbelle: Your mom is way better at this sort of thing than I'll ever be.
Crayons: Thanks. I appreciate the comment. I don't think you need to qualify your feeling for Iran and its people. When is the last time you heard someone say they had a soft spot for Norway and its people....except for the fanatics? Come to think of it, Norway is killing baby whales. I can see it now...
2009: President For Life™ George FW Bush says to the press "Ah think it's time we put a stop to those baby-whale killers in Norway. Ah went to Seaworld and Ah saw that one fish... Shampoo, or somethin' and we need to stop them lutefisk eaters before they kill Shampoo on American soil. Umm.. Freedom! Ummmm... Democracy! Ummmmm... Shadowy Tairist Network! Ummmmmmm... You're either with us or you're a Shampoo-killer sympathizer! Ummmmmmm... Ah'm a War President™!"
PoodleDoc: Thank you, too.
There are fanatics in every country in the world. It is a part of the human condition.
