that’s whacked

Half a mind is a terrible thing to waste!

didn’t get my appeal to take traffic school to get rid of the violation for my speeding ticket.

on a more serious note. what did i think of President Bush’s State of the Union speech… hrm. well, i really think he needs to see a psychiatrist or therapist to get over his addiction to waging war on Iraq.

“The course of this nation does not depend on the decisions of others, Whatever action is required, whenever action is necessary, I will defend the freedom and security of the American people.”

What the hell is that? I admit that waging a war on terror will defend the freedom and security of the American people. But I don’t see that attacking Iraq will defend my freedom and security. If anything, I think it will provoke more terrorists into waging a counter-war. Admit it Bush, this is about oil damnit.

I think it’s a huge mistake to go in without any allied support (and as much as I’m a Brit, having the British as your only ally, doesn’t count). We need consensus among our allies – at the very least we need France & Germany from Europe, Russia, and at least a few Middle Eastern states (either Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Egypt).

Currently all we have is Britain…and not even the British people - all we have is Blair. This isn’t enough to declare a war….
