Draft?!
On my way home from school I heard horrible news and I decided it was definitely blog worthy. I heard that last night when Condaleeza Rice was questioned about Iran she said that negotiations have ended. This has lead many people to speculate war with Iran. This could have terribly serious repercussions, one of the worst for my family and friends being the possibility of a draft. I can't even begin to speculate what effect this could have on the world.

I would like to announce the first annual "Run for the Border" Marathon. Starts on the day war with Iran is declared. The race will begin in Kansas City and ends in British Columbia. Winner gets free health care. I'm going to try to get sponsership from Taco Bell.
Yo quiero Vancouver.
A marathon sounds like a good plan. If it wasn't for my hatred of cold weather I'd already be a citizen.
I hadn't heard how Iran and Syria are standing together but I can see how an aliance could buy country a little more power. I completely agree with you, Daver, about nuclear weapons. We were the ones to both conceive and use a nuclear weapon; I think it proves we are the only ones who shouldn't be trusted with nuclear weapons. It's also the only way to get your opinion cared about seemingly. The U.S. definitely doesn't care what you have to say unless you have a weapon. I abhor nationalism but it's such a fine line between it and patriotism that I understand how many are tricked into supporting it. I hate how the Bush administration seems to favor action to rational discusion. I think they would have to be rather stupid to actually attack Iran but that's kind of what I though about Iraq. You can never underestimate Bush's stupidity. One day I had dreamt of majoring in international politics but with the way the world has turned, nursing seems way more practical.
My highschool chemistry pseudo- teacher (she was actually only a student but she got to experiment with us the entire second semester)was form Iran. She did a radio show on KKFI for the local KC Iranian community. She was very nice and fascinating. I'm not sure which factor to blame for my grade going from an A first semester to a D second semester. My five possible choices are: that I easily steared her away from talking about chemistry and instead telling us all about Iran; that chemistry is even harder to understand when being taught by someone with a heavy Iranian accent; that it was only her first attempt at student teaching; the material was just harder the second semester; or the fact that after I stopped understanding and learned all I wanted to about Iran, I skipped chemistry every day.
