54. Yeah, and they're winning. Again.

I realize that's not a popular sentiment, and I'm not trying to be reactionary. It's just we're still half stuck (or more) in wars in southwestern Asia, and the GOP are already currently in full propaganda mode for the war with Iran. If you think the past decade plus was bad, the period after we bomb Iran will make this look like the "good old days" older than myself people reminisce about.

I've been a bit dramatic recently I've been told. Which may well be true. However, some of the same people saying this to me are the very ones who told me I was wrong about Bush intending to invade Iran after 9/11. So take it all as you choose.
