How Many Countries Are We At War With?

When you think back about World War II there's sort of a nostalgic feeling about the whole thing, right? People in their homes as reports of the war crackled through old worn-out radios. Photos in the paper of soldiers coming home, treated as true heroes, kissing their wives who wore those long dresses for all the world to see.

How many countries are we at war with now? It's like filling out the NCAA bracket, isn't it?

Iraq...that one still isn't officially over, is it? I know GW declared it finished back around the time Sam was born, but we are still fighting there, right?

Afghanistan...making progress there, right? Don't you picture it in your head as a barren land of rock and soot?

Libya...we had to make the strike, right because of a complete lack of cooperation? Not sure...a very Republican friend of mine (yes, I have plenty of those) told me that it was because Obama had a beef with Qadafi's father and that is all about the oil. I laughed.

But not one bit of it is funny to me. I don't feel nostalgic at all.

Back at the ranch, schools are cutting everything as states across this great land tighten their belts to deal with an economic war that has stretched on and on and on and on.

Clinton did all of this, right? Stupid Monica Lewinsky!

But who the hell knows about anything anymore. When the tsunami hit Japan another friend of mine said, "It has a real end of time feel to it, doesn't it?"

I don't know that either...I gave my standard answer about not wanting us to all go at once because of the long lines that we'll have to put with when being judged to go to heaven or hell.

Isn't that me? Not worried about eternity in blissful paradise as opposed to being burnt to a crisp for the rest of my days in the brimstone of hell...I want to go where the line is shorter.

Some people actually celebrate war.

"We need to blow up the whole world across the Atlantic," said Republican buddy said. He told me that he cheered when he heard about the air strikes.

Would it work to blow up the world? Wouldn't we blow up the oil too? I didn't do any cheering. Not one single, whoop, whoop.

Anyway, I suppose the fact that Obama is directing war against these Arab countries proves that his birth certificate is American, huh?

But I wonder what Qadafi's old man did to Obama.

I do agree with all the ideas you've presented in your post. They're really convincing and
will certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief for novices.
May you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and
amusing, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something regarding this.
