This Sucks

I don’t want to seem like Chicken Little, but I’m definitely not liking all the shit that’s going on around the world. It’s seriously freaking me out. I feel like a huge terrorist attack is imminent, we are about to ignite a powder keg in the Middle East and apparently N. Korea has a nuclear missile pointed at LA right now.

I am constantly vacillating between barely controlled panic and a shrug of, “oh well, there’s nothing I can really do, so quit worrying and enjoy this re-run of the Simpsons.” Speaking of TV, being a fan of the show 24 is probably not helping my mental state at the moment, either.

I just can’t help feeling like we are entering an elaborate end game of the United States as a super power. There are so many scenarios where the US could seriously go down in flames here. And I really don’t care about our government’s dominance in the world and think that our government IS way too arrogant. It’s just that the immediate effects will be devastating in loss of life and will probably negatively affect my life for some time to come and that is not exciting to me.

So, with that said, I’m going to link to this anti-war in Iraq link: I don’t think the US should go to war with Iraq right now.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t see a good reason to do that.
