Hey, Let's Blast Another Country!
Former US officials urge military action against Sudan over Darfur
What's making me MAD today: In the news we've got Anthony Lake, who served as president Bill Clinton's National Security Advisor, former Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Susan Rice and current Democratic representative from New Jersey Donald Payne saying the US should take the initiative and go blast Sudan because they refuse to allow UN peacekeepers into the country and are probably going to launch another "ethnic cleansing" operation.
Can someone PLEASE explain to Lake and Rice and Payne that this is the United STATES, not the United NATIONS? Do they have a really serious spelling deficiency or are they just morons? Do they believe the US is responsible for the world? OK, so the UN is slow at getting around to doing anything more than blowing hot air in most situations, but what makes that the US' fault? What makes it our responsibilty to take over where the UN fails to act as quickly as some would like or does something we don't agree with? The answer: IT'S NOT OUR JOB!
So, the UN's lacking -- work within the UN to improve it.
In the meantime, I recommend that the US send a Primary Attack Force of newly commissioned infantrymen: Lake and Rice and Payne. The rest of the troops are right behind you, guys -- WAY behind you. Good luck.

Debby, I want to be sure I have good sources if I ever need blood!
Glad to see you here! I don't know much about politics, but what little I know I have an opinion on. But, you don't have to know anything at all about politics to get frosted at the things the scum-bag politicians DO to us common folk. I'll hold my comments about judges -- for now anyway... heh heh.
Well, between Leon's blog, my email and other stuff I have going on, I'm hard pressed to roam very far afield, but I will take a gander and put my 2 cent's worth in when I can (you may keep the change).
Those problems you are seeing might just be a slow virus scanning operation if you have that on, or a slow connection that means some sites come up too slowly. Do you have DSL or cable Internet? I have similar problems at my office, I think due to heavy traffic and their super-protective security and virus checking. In fact, it would not allow me to get to your site, said it was "restricted"... sheeeeee....
I stayed home Monday in all of that rain mess, worked from the house about half a day and wasted the other half. We didn’t have any problems in the immediate ‘hood, but I would have spent several hours on the road going to and from the office, since I work close to downtown Houston. Then, due to a flooded feeder road and inexplicable accidents on the road Tuesday morning, I had a 50% increase in my usual 40-45-50-minute travel time, ended up way late… grrrrrrr…… anyway, I guess it’s all part of the territory. No matter where you live, there are SOME kind of hassles – snow, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, whatever.
I agree, a large part of politics, whether it be in homeowners associations, civic clubs, Congress or the UN, is the power and “glory” thing… As for the self-serving side of it, my sister is a condo assoc. president and it’s driving her nuts(-er). She got into it for the same reason she can’t get out of it -- no one else wants the job except people she doesn’t consider fit for it.
