Yes, it was a very surreal week! I have lost all respect for the Nobel Prize(of course, wasn't it funded out of guilt by a munitions maker?). Obama wins the peace prize for talking about peace, about nuclear disarmament(I'm sure Israel is going to go along with that one!). We spend taxpayers precious money sending missles to the moon looking for WATER. To top it all off, I read some commentator talking seriously about "how many troops we need to WIN in Afghanistan." There will be no win in Afghanistan, just as there was no win in Vietnam. When are the American people going to wake up and see the insanity of our leaders? Time is running out for a peaceful resolution to our problems.

Our country has grown more and more insane over the past fifty years. The average citizen has been comfortably dumbed-down to the point they don't know where Pakistan is, what our history of support for Osama bin Laden and the Taliban are, and how corruption like this is sucking our Treasury dry. It's really a shame we let demagogues run the country who are mainly adept at selling war to a simple-minded people. "Give us your sons, daughters, husbands, and wives, and we'll give them a decent burial or a place in one of our fine VA hospitals." It's our new Obamajobs program, you know...

This is the CHANGE people voted for?! It looks like more of the same, to me. More unwinnable wars, more draining of the US Treasury. Didn't Vietnam teach us anything? Evidently not.
