Overseas and other stuff
I just sat here for an hour writing what I considered to be a thoughtful commentary on the state of the situation in Iraq...and Blogger somehow lost all of it. ALL OF IT. @#$%#$#*$&#!!!!!

Long story short: These terrorists are IDIOTS. Although I don't like it, I can easily see why they go after our troops in the dastardly way they do. That was to be expected. But after bombing and shooting at Iraqi civilian targets, bombing UN headquarters there, and bombing a prominent Muslim cleric, you can't but wonder about their logic as a whole. These extremists managed to put the world (not just the US) into a position of solidarity and have heaped on more trouble than they already have. And talk about recruitment. Bombing a major Islamic figurehead was a major no-go. You expect to win people to your cause now? Yeah...just try. Sheer idiocy, I say.

On this note, more comrades are being deployed to the "sandbox." Chan, I await your return stateside. When you get back, it'll be you that I owe a drink to...and soon I hope.
