Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue

Israel continues to bomb Lebanese civilians in an attempt to destroy Hezbollah--the group Israel inadvertently helped create thanks to their 1982 invasion of Lebanon. But who cares about the historical formation of insurgent groups...the War on Terror is about fighting terrorists now, not critically examining the past and determining how to prevent these situations from arising in the future. One interesting side note: did you know that Hezbollah means "party of god"? This whole time I thought the GOP were the party of god...

I found the picture above from this story. Ronald Dumsfeld met with China's most senior military officer General Guo Boxiong in Washington today. I started to wonder, what could they be doing? Is Heavy D going to sell the General some NutraSweet or a light nuclear reactor, or just trade psyops methods and torture tactics? Then it hit me. I've seen this picture before. 

I guess we will be bombing China twenty years from now...

The war on terror is an idiotic idea. You can't fight a tactic...and terrorism, despite everything else, is a tactic. There are right ways to do it; there are wrong ways to do it; and there are incredibly dumb ways to do it. Like invading Iraq, a secular Muslim country in the hopes of turning it into a haven of Adamsian Republican Government ( Jefferson would have done an Aaron Burr job on all these guys, and they would have been unimpressed with him until they found themselves being hung, because he was literate, intelligent, had decent taste and spoke French. Franklin -- he would have electricuted them...here George, hold this line!)

As for bombing China, well, I don't know about that. Since we won't have any money for defense because we won't have any money for anything important in government, China may be bombing us as a way to put us out of our misery. On the other hand, the Party might decide that moving a lot of people to western China and then having us bomb it to reduce their population to be a viable alternative. Kind of like trying to make stainless steel in a backyard kiln...
