I'm not prepared for the UK to take responsibility for all of it, but honestly, when are we going to learn that the Great Game should have stopped in 1890?
It's not funny at all, but I must smile. And the idiot descendants of the Great Game (that's my government) are doing their part, of course. You probably don't get THE DAILY SHOW over there, but when the Vice President's image is starting to earn reactions reserved for Darth Vader (current popularity rating 18%) you know we're in trouble.
Of course, they (the hidden government I.E. executive branch) don't care what 49% of the people think. They're lame duck, control the congress and the judiciary, and can do a lot of damage before they're tossed out.
I am of the (informed) opinion that Afghanistan is going to hell in a handbasket. Again. In part, because of the British government. Again.
We get almost no news of Afghanistan anymore, and it's infuriating, because I had no problem with stepping on the Taliban HARD, but we should have stayed there, ignored SH and Iraq, and helped the Afghanis at least return to the 18th century . . ..
It's very upsetting to realize that I'm never going to get to travel in the world, because the only-president-because-if-we-impeach-him-Cheney's-president fellow has screwed us to the wall. I had friends spend their entire visit in NZ explaining No, we didn't vote for him, we campaigned against him. And the Americans you see overseas are generally not the people who put him into office!
I'm just praying that there are a few "Soccer Moms" out there listening to Bush's speeches. Because if they do, they should be hearing the same damn words that led up to Iraq -- about Iran. And it won't happen without a draft -- that's their kids going. If he loses the majority in one house, we can spike his guns.
