My son is odd. He chews on seat belts and everytime he goes to the bathroom he has to change clothes. Seven year olds confuse me...

Just trying to keep my mind off everything else going on in the world. I just said to some friends "Still seems weird to me that we're paying so much attention to a country that "might" have nuclear weapons when N Korea definitely does have them and is making more. This tidbit makes me believe that we're not hearing "facts" from Washington regarding Iraq. If we went to war lots of innocent people are going to die; these countries put their labs/storehouses in civilian neighborhoods for a reason. Powell wants us to believe this little country is outsmarting everyone by moving weapons around; if this is true they're geniuses or the inspectors/UN/US are idiots.
No matter what we do, there are still going to be terrorists making bio-terror weapons out there. Bombing the shit out of Iraq isn't going to change that. To prove that point, anyone know where bin Laden is? Come on, we couldn't find the guy in little old Afghanistan; if we couldn't do that then we're not going to wipe out terror by wiping out Iraq. We'll just get our hands on the oil. And isn't that convenient (when we're using more of it than anyone else)."

We all agreed that the sad part is that no one's asking us. So I distract myself with minutiae.
