Kobe Bryant:

You are one dumb ass mother scooter. You idiot. Unlike everyone else in the world, I'm not going to comment on the degree of your innocence or guilt. That is for a courtroom and a jury to decide. I shall remain neutral since I don't know any facts about this case or what happened on that night. But you are one dumb ass mother scooter. What the hell were you thinking? If nothing else, you are a self-admitted adulterer. You had a new wife and a baby on the way when you cheated, and I hope for your sake that that's all you did. If you did do it, I hope you like playing basketball on a prison ballcourt.

The situation in Iraq seems just utterly awful. Everyday when I come to work, I read about yet another ambush taking another American life. I know the situations are completely different, but this situation just reeks of Vietnam to me. We're in this country that is divided up into many different sub-sections and minority groups. We're there to "liberate" them, yet a lot of them don't want liberation. Both were guerilla warfare types of situations. Both wars had nightly news casts showing yet another dead American soldier. Both situations looked like there might not be a way out that would be sufficient to both the government's interests and the interests of the Iraqi people. There are massive protests from thousands of Iraqis about our presense there. The list goes on and on I guess....Government deceptions, demoralized troops etc.

And then there were those pesky WMD's or lack thereof.

North Korea scares the crap out of me. It seems like this is just a powder keg waiting to go off. Our military is stretched thin throughout the world as it is. A MAJOR war in Korea could be utterly devastating to both the Korean penninsula and to the world in general. I don't mean to state the obvious, but NK with nuclear weapons has me scared as hell. Any cash strapped nation with nuclear weapons is a freightening prospect. Because even if they don't use them, they could sell them to rogue states or terrorists groups who wouldn't think twice about using them.

more to come later
