There were two intervals that inspired this, namely the never-ending & costly war in the Middle East, and watching "300" for the third time didn't help things either...
It turns my stomach whenever there's an announcement make by our nation's "chief-in-command", adamantly stating that there will be more funds and more personel pumped into this horrible situation we have gotten ourselves into. It is foregin hostile territory, its a holy civil war that has been waged amongst their society since like, FOREVER, and we need to get every last one of our men & women outta that hell-hole!
Makes me wonder what is cooking in ole Dubya's noggin...
