anotheranonI've not been commenting on politics lately, but I have been keeping up. Reading all the usual sites (as well as some with commentary, and/or some bias).
I'm not sure why Dubya is suggesting that Iraq is taking precedence over N.Korea, given that the latter have given hard proof of their intentions. Reading this discussion on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wcg's journal, I'm inclined to think that it's unlikely that the U.S. could fight a war on 2 (no, make that 3 - the sneaky Al Qaeda [spelling? I've seen many]) fronts at this time.
Dubya has also gracefully chosen to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade by declaring "Sanctity of Human Life Day" - which would be almost touching except the scheduling and phrasing scream pro-life. I've been perhaps a bit eager to find fault with this administration at every turn but I don't think I'm overreacting in this case.
There are many anti-war protests scheduled for this weekend, none of which I will be attending. I am still waiting for the gov't to offer proof that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, and more specifically, if it has the means to get them here (or anywhere else). I have no problem with getting rid of Sadaam Hussein, but not by the "running in like Rambo without a jock strap" method and mentality that Dubya et. al. seem to embrace.
Tired now, going to bed.

I'm actually rather a bit worried - a kid I grew up with is in the Army. He's a mechanic, but I'm worried about him being sent over anyway, especially given the lack of real proof that they NEED to be over there.
