Fascinating to read the reactions of someone watching it happen before their eyes, yet not believing.

If Obama isn’t watching this closely, India is. And I wouldn’t doubt, fondling the big red button.

As for women being the problem, I read recently about women in New York in past times removing the lead weights from their curtains so bullets could be made. Revolutionary war. Women gladly and willingly send their sons into war, always have. It was ‘soccer moms’ who won Bush’s second term. Thatcher was the most steadfast of all leaders, even compared to Reagan when the Argentines decided to take that island.

The success of the Bush doctrine convinced people that there was no need of it. Men and women. Very common in a democracy, in fact it’s weakness.
