Cold as Ice


Well, the inauguration went off alright, more troops there than there used to be at the old May Day Parades in Moscow and more booing than I've seen since the last football game but other than that, it went off and no bombs went off. Which means that the cowardly islamonazi's who like to blow up defenseless people simply have no ability to do so. All to the good. With the second term safely under way it's time to see what comes next. With that march of freedom speech by President Bush and every other nation on edge as to what that actually means it's time to look at the future. I keep hearing whispers about US troops starting to go into Syria to take out the folks who are supporting and sponsoring the terror campaign in Iraq. I keep hearing that Iran is being prepped for various actions to include identifying and blowing up their nuclear facilities. Japan is working a bit harder to drill for possible trouble with China, China is making it's usual noises about how Taiwan is a renegade part of China and how they will take it back. The US keeps it's fleet drilled and ready to stop any such attempt. North Korea is noisily talking their talk but nobody is listening that much. Pakistan and India are still getting used to their nuclear power and how that translates to the possibility of their cities actually becoming radioactive slag heaps at any miscalcuated moment. The world is on it's usual razors edge and any little nudge one way or the other could start the domino blocks of war to fall into our futures. So things should be interesting as usual.
