Scared

I can't keep quiet anymore. I've tried to avoid political topics on my regular blog (at least mostly) because it has a specific purpose, and I don't think politics would help it. But I have to express this, so I'm saying it here in this forgotten corner of the blogosphere, just to get it out.

I'm scared. Bush seems to be making plans to invade Iran--not that he's planning to invade Iran, mind you, he's just making plans, just in case, while pursuding diplomatic solutions. Yeah. Kind of like when he made plans to invade Iraq.

I never understood the Iraqi invasion, and I suspect the pundits have it right who say he's just finishing up the Bush Legacy. I understood Afghanistan, and I supported it. But he invaded Iraq when Afghanistan was still unfinished.

And why Iraq? If we wanted to invade a Middle East country in the name of 9-11, most of those terrorists were Saudi Arabian, and we've seen since that the Saudi royal family are probably supporting terrorism against the U.S.

But no, Bush wanted to go riding into Iraq (despite the entire world's protest, sans a loyal Tony Blair), so he did. And now we're embroiled in this ugly affair we can't seem to get out of.

And I'm lying awake at night wondering how well my basement would work as a bomb shelter.
