Things aren’t looking good. Depending on who you want to listen to, this could be as bad or worse than Chernobyl. Even if it isn’t, it’ll still be pretty bad.

I’m no military expert, but I’d guess that any war that goes on this long will lose voter support. It just seems to be dragging on with no end in sight, and nobody wants a modern version of the Hundred Years War.

Needless to say, the outrage is pretty widespread. I always figured a mom would want her kid CURED to end the suffering, not dead. Seems I’m not alone.

However, something else in the Guardian’s article about this controversy caught my eye:

Her latest comments were made as doctors prepared to lobby for a change in the law to allow people to help the terminally ill to die.

Well, a quick google search yielded this: “Doctors and nurses launch campaign for right to help terminally ill to end their lives”. Basically, a doctors’ group in the UK wants to legalize assisted suicide. Now, it could be argued that a person deserves the right to decide when to end their own life. I’m not denying that. I’m just a little scared as to what doors this will lead us to open next.

I suspect a day is coming when you won’t be allowed in an airport parking lot, much less the airport itself, if you aren’t actually flying somewhere.

The peace talks are a farce. They always are. It’s all part of a plan to make Israel look like the bad guy, all the while working to drive the Jewish people out of their land.

Reason? Drug demand in the U.S. I’m about as straight edged as a person can be, so legalization of any currently illegal drugs wouldn’t impact me, but I think legalization is a good idea just to end the slaughter going on south of the U.S. border.

What does this mean?  Well, communist or not, Russia’s approach to the world remains the same; they seek the leadership spot that belongs to the U.S.  While it looks like they don’t have the military prowess once possessed by the U.S.S.R., they do have nuclear capability, and that alone means they should be taken seriously.

I’m not advocating a preemptive strike or anything, but it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

For starters, Mexico, described as the “epicenter” of this potential pandemic, is saying the swine flu is on the decline.  In addition, according to the same article, there are experts claiming this may be no worse that the plain ol’ seasonal flu (which kills 250,000 to 500,000 annually, so it isn’t exactly a tame illness).

On the other side of the coin, the WHO is claiming H1N1 could return “with a vengeance,” so we can’t let our guard down.

Well, at this point, I’d say we’re seriously overreacting, and the WHO is just trying to save face.  Cases in the U.S. have been mild enough that a regular over-the-counter flu medication and rest can remedy it.  Quite simply, this “pandemic” is so mild it’s laughable.

Just for fun: Courtesy of the Mental Floss Blog, here are a few propaganda PSAs from the 1976 swine flu scare designed to get people to take the vaccine that was available at the time.  Why is it no longer available?  Well, it killed 25 people and paralyzed several more; it was more dangerous than the actual flu!

A Pentagon review of conditions at the Guantanamo Bay military prison has concluded that the treatment of detainees meets the requirements of the Geneva Conventions but that prisoners in the highest-security camps should be allowed more religious and social interaction, according to a government official who has read the 85-page document.

So, does this mean Gitmo stays open?  I wouldn’t put money on it.  The liberal view is always going to be that torture is morally wrong, and that these people should be in a normal prison, tying up our legal system, or just sent home (where they can regroup and attack us again).  I expect Obama to stay on that side of the fence, no matter what any study he commissions says.
