Here we go again, again

This is another post about how the US seems about to go to war with Iran.

Why is this relevant in a blog about Autumn? Because a war with Iran will effect her much more dramatically than the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war in Iraq has been strange, annoying, unnecessary and will have a long term effect on the US. But it really isn't hurting us. A war in Iran? In my opinion, is a few ticks past escalation.

Let's recap:

The US already invaded Afghanistan. They did so because the Taliban was harboring Osama bin Laden and wouldn't turn him over. That's close to right. They wouldn't turn him over to the US, but they wanted to turn him in. There were problems with the offer, but in hindsight, it seems like a good starting point. Still, there was a somewhat popular invasion. The war there is still going on. And the drug trade is benefiting immensely on the war.

The US then invaded Iraq. It was because of WMD's, they said. It was against the wishes of just about every country on earth, with the exception of Britain and Australia. Italy and Poland were there two, but they're out. I could go on and on about this one, but the news is sort of already.

Now, they are thinking about Iran. And, to add a scary thought, there's talk of using bunker busters. Which are little nukes. Let me repeat, the US is contemplating dropping nukes on Iran.

Now, if you look at the middle east, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are pretty much it. Meaning, the US will be at war with the entire region.

True biblical believers think the second coming will occur after a world war in the Middle East. George Bush counts himself among the true believers. I'm not saying we're all in serious trouble. But I am saying that I've been scared for my adopted country for a while now. And I'm getting more scared, because now I have a little girl.
