Reality Check

I know that my blog is suppose to be about the little parties happening in SF and all the fun my friends and I have, but once in awhile a person has to stop and take notice of what's really going on outside theses gorgeous sky scrapers and beyond our Bay waters. Things are still happening in this world that we can't keep turning our back on and it's only going to get worse ....

I just read that the two soldiers that went missing last week in Iraq have been recovered. Supposedly, their murder was extremely brutal and barbaric and their bodies were just left to rot on the side of the road. Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for killing the soldiers, and said the successor to slain terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had "slaughtered" them and slit their throats in retaliation.

I'm just going to repeat what has been said for the last couple of disastrous years: The war in Iraq is completely senseless and useless and it will never, ever be resolved. Iraq's innocent civilians are being killed on a daily basis, either by our American hands or in the hands of their own country's suicide militants. The same goes for our American boys and girls who go over there trying to escape a dead-end-low-income-small-town and want to become the local hero.

What's next, North Korea and their dumb missile testing? Iran and their uranium enrichment? Another fucking war to start that we can't finish?

Will it ever end and if so, will it end peacefully? I doubt it ....
