As usual, the Drudge Report is ruining an otherwise great day. It really has been a wonderful day for me. I will not get into it, but let’s just say it is one for the movies.
To cap off my day, I decided to surf the internet and see what is going on, then I stumbled onto Drudge Report and saw this:
In the back of my head I immediately heard “It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the modern day/ Come sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow you away.” It’s a song called “Modern Day Cowboy” by a metalish band named Tesla from the '80s. The song was written before its time and speaks of the U.S.S.R. where I think it means the Middle East. It pops in my head quite a bit when this subject comes up actually.
Stormy night under jet black skies, Billy pulls into town
the thunder rolled and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be giving a speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, September 19th at 7pm. President Ahmad… to-long-to-type as expressed interest in debating Bush. He is quoted in the Drudge story as saying, "My forthcoming visit to New York for the UN General Assembly would be a suitable opportunity to hold the debate and all world people, especially the Americans, could hear and watch it without censorship."
Al Capone and the Bad Boy Jones, on the wrong side of the law
Johnny D and his company, always first to the draw,
Gangster lean, feelin' so mean, try to take more than their share
'Cos all they saw was ruling it all, the scent of blood was in the air
Now on this very same day, President Bush will also be giving a speech at the United Nations at 11:30 in the morning. I am curious if Bush will debate Ahmad… or not. I know I would not. There is little to gain in such a format because the dilemma is one that threatens the entire world and not just the United States. The debate must therefore involve the entire world and not just be between Bush and Ahmad.
If I were Bush, I would give my speech that morning, meet with Ahmad when he arrives, shake hands, and “blah blah blah” with him - but not debate him. Insist it be a multi-nation talk. We already know Bush is bad at debating. Bet you did not expect me to side with Bush, huh?
So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting worse
Foreign lands with their terrorist demands, only cause the good to hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., with their six-guns to their side
I see the message, written on the wall, too much anger deep inside
The truly disturbing part of all of this is that Hugo Chavez is giving a speech at the United Nations the day after. Before the speeches, Hugo and Ahmad… are attending a “summit of Non-Aligned Movement countries.” According to the Drudge Report, this is a 116-nation group and so far their members I know hate us and are meeting 91 miles off of our coast. More to the point, they are 91 miles from this house.

#1 - Please god, I wouldn't want Bush to debate anyone, he can't form a coherant sentence, he's stupid, borderline retarded and would get absolutely azzraped by the Iranian president. I hope to god he doesn't debate him. And its not because I don't think a debate with the Iranian president isn't a good idea, a debate is a great idea, a debate with king george is just a terrible terrible idea.
#2 Why does everyone seem to forget that we have thousands and thousands of nukes. If any "state" decides to attack us, unlike the 20 people who did it on 9/11, it would be lunacy. The countries you named, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela come on. They are a joke and we could wipe them off the face of the earth if they did anything stupid. It just would not happen. No state can measure up to US organized military power and that's why all they can do is talk about how they hate us. If they acted it would be a huge mistake.
#3 When did we all become such pussies? Why is everyone so scared in this country? Everything you do in life is risky (I won't elaborate but could). Don't be afraid.

The reason I am afraid is logic. Nobody knows how to get into this country undetected better than the Cubans. Trust me, they have perfected it. The treaty between Syria and Venezuela allows for Visa free travel. A deal like that between Iran and Cuba would put Shia terrorists with 90 miles of our country with experts on getting here. Shall I go on? I am legitimatly scared right now.

I hear what your saying, but doesn't logic also tell you that being constantly afraid is no way to live your life?

I'm not constantly afraid. I am scared at this time. Kind of started as I read of Ahmad going to Cuba as I read of Bush sending the 14 top bad guys to Cuba.

this is a time where we need to be more diplomatic and less self-centered. It seems like more and more countries are siding up against us.
