11:38p - War   
So being in the service, I've been particually concerned with the current state of affairs. We're going to war with Iraq. I firmly believe that decision was made by Mr. Bush a long long time ago. Come late January the announcement will officially be made and troops will roll in earnest. I have a lot of mixed feelings about that. On one hand, I see the neccissity of it. Sadam has been playing the world as a fool and the UN has played along...much as Hitler did in WWII. I don't see a whole lot of support coming from the rest of the world in this either.

I have mixed feelings about this because of TGWOT and North Korea. As I am sure that Sadam has a weapons of mass destruction program and biological warfare elements, I am just as sure that North Korea is nearing Nuclear Weapons Status.

Following the onset of the new Gulf War, I see North Korea implementing it's anxiously awaited strike on South Korea...and troops will roll again.

Once we're at war with Iraq and NK, I see a strong possibility that China will step into the limelight and wreck whatever havoc IT is planning...

and if that happens...then we're all going to be just fucked. Pakistan and India will go at it in earnest, Al Quaida will launch bigger and bolder attacks...and pretty much any country (or rebellious elements like the LTTE in Sri Lanka for example) that has any nefirious plans will have the perfect situation to implement those plans. The world will be in complete chaos and the United States will be spread too thin to counter every front. Who knows if the UN will even have the *power* to truly assist...

Yes. I'm talking WW III here people. I'm talking service wide stop loss, calling up all NG and AR folks (to include those in the Inactive Ready Reserve...which is where I'm headed myself) and the DRAFT.

I'm talking weapons of mass destruction, anthrax, serin gas, anything and everything...all over the planet.

Yes...I have apocolyptic visions people. It is...unsettling to say the least.

we find ourselves in trying times my friends. trying times indeed. What's worse is Mr. Bush is a very aggressive president and with the country already approaching martial law...I'm losing most of my faith in our leaders...

I hope...oh how I hope that I'm just being cynical. Oh how I hope that this won't come to pass...yet...i can't help but see all roadsigns pointing that direction. 

current mood:  gloomy

No Glen, you make it go away. I cant raise a family in a world like that, I am not even sure I could survive in a world like that...
I am so close to my happily ever after... make the bad stuff go away. I deserve things to be good.

And you made me cry, thanks a lot.

*grin* Just read your note. Re the layout--wasn't my design...although I kinda liked how everything was over on the left side. Different. However, I switched my screen view at work and it looked too silly. Hope the chick who made it doesn't get pissed off. :)
