yesterday's "fun" reminds me of growing up in the 80s.

I grew up around a lot of Vietnam vets so when Reagan first bombed Libya, I thought; this is it. This is what ends up with me hauling a backpack and M-16 around another country. And it obviously didn't. Reagan's ratings soared, presumably Qaddhafi's ratings soared with his people, and months later we were doing it again. The only people to really lose were the Libyans who died and uh, us having to pay for all of this crap.

So I feel cynical of "he's going to nuke someone" - which is a bit naive of me, since he's definitely exhibited interest in doing so in the past, and like all conservatives he really gets into the idea of Punishing Bad People - and assume this whole thing has been engineered to boost ratings which might be sagging even among conservatives thanks to HIS recession, HIS inflation, HIS jackboots showing up in our airports and communities. It's either that and/or market manipulation. I know "lives mean nothing to this Administration getting what it wants" is a statement like "the sky is blue" or "water is wet" but still.

I emailed again asking my senators to support or start impeachment, but of course nothing's going to happen.
