If Bush doesn't start a war with Iran, President Giuliani will. That's a promise.

I find Giuliani to be the personally most unattractive individual running for president. Please, Republicans: not him.

Read this article and then read the news accounts of six soldiers who have all died - some with no cause of death named - in the time since a B-52 bomber was flown across the US loaded with nuclear missiles "by accident". Note that there are conflicting reports on whether there were five or six nuclear weapons, prompting suspicions that one has been stolen.

The current mood, where people hold their breath all day long on September 11, and suspect the US government of plotting a nuclear attack on its own citizens, is sick. Why do so many people feel like passengers on a runaway train headed for a steep cliff? Why is it that nearly 90% of respondents say that Bush should be impeached, yet nothing happens? I will be a very happy person if 2008 rolls around, we get a new president (just not McCain or Giuliani or Thompson) and no enormous catastrophes have been perpetrated and Iran has not been attacked.

GQ is running a great interview with former Secretary of State Colin Powell. This excerpt goes straight to the heart of post 9/11 American life:

So you think we are getting too hunkered down and scared?
Yes! We are taking too much counsel of our fears.

America is about to start a third war, a war that can be avoided, a war that is sick in its conception and intent. We are about to attack Iran - every piece of evidence would indicate this is the case. WHERE ARE THE PROTESTS???

"I don’t think it’s limited at all. We are shipping in and assigning every damn Tomahawk we have in inventory. I think this is going to be massive and sudden, like thousands of targets. I believe that no American will know when it happens until after it happens. And whatever the consequences, whatever the consequences, they will have to be lived with. I am sure if my father knew I was telling someone in a news organization that we were about to launch a supposedly secret attack that it would be treason. But something inside me tells me to tell it anyway."
