Unfortunately, I'm more worried about 'duck and cover' than 'head under pillow'.

The US has now publicly embraced a policy of 'preemptive war'. If our rivals and enemies followed suit, then things could get very ugly. For years we've held onto weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological) and convinced the world we could be trusted to do so by maintaining a defensive posture.

Now everything has changed, and maybe 1/3 of the US and almost noone in the world trusts the current the current administration in terms of honesty, competence, and restraint.

oh believe me. I am only trusting that the next administration is more sensitive to different ideologies than this one has been. Obviously preemtive striking dosn't work.


I am not sure how some people can keep smiling after knowing that this administration has destabilized the middle east.

I read this article yesterday. I thought I'd share it here.
The truth keeps eeking out but some refuse to believe what is right before their eyes.
