Deja Vu all over again

Talk about weird timing. I'm watching a repeat episode of the Daily Show the other day. John Stewart is talking to a New Yorker columnist that said we will probably go to war with Iran. He said the administration is starting to do the same things it did with Iraq. The Europeans at the time were (and still are) trying a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear program but the US is not supporting the effort at all. He said the next step would be the whole thing gets thrown to the UN to do something, which means nothing happens. Next thing you know the US comes out and says the UN is totally ineffective and that something has to be done so we'll do it. Sound familiar? Substitute terrorism, WMDs, and bringing democracy to the region and you've got the whole process that ended us up in Iraq.

Now yesterday, Condi Rice makes a speech in Europe saying that the UN may need to take action but the there is "no timetable" for compliance. That is, until we're ready to bomb Iran, then all of a sudden there will be a definate time table. This administration's out of control. Bush says he wants to cut the deficit in half by the end of his presidency yet keeps spennding more money on Iraq and elsewhere. This guy lives in his own little fantasy world. By the time he gets out of office, it will take us decades to recover from his bad and failed policies. Keep your eyes open, people, there's bad juju coming. And just this morning North Korea announced that it actually does have a nuclear weapons program. Which we should have done something about before getting involved in Iraq. Which is a rant of another sort.

Sleep well children. I hope your President has made you feel safer in a troubled world. I know I don't feel safer with him at the helm.
