POLITICS - OSAMA BIN WHO?

Well, Osama's "bin" dead for a month, yesterday.

I remember the euphoria many of us felt after he met his justice, Old Testament-style, son. I was there with you. It closed a chapter to a very long, and arduous subplot, if not the novel.

But, it's interesting how quickly we forget. After about two weeks, when we have to pay five dollars for gas and realize that we're still fighting three wars in the Middle East and may get into a fourth one in Yemen. Now, we're starting to say, wait, it took us how long to get this guy? Sure, we're glad we got 'em, but dang! And we invaded Iraq, because, why? And we've been giving Pakistan, how much money???!!!! And the U.S. Gov't wants to destroy public service jobs in America, while they're helping to indirectly fund terrorism, abroad? Is the U.S. Gov't that dumb?

That last question is rhetorical, you don't have to answer it.

Now, that "Arab Spring" they talked about is looking more like a "Russian Winter"...desolate.

Well, until we start seeing the Arab George Washington ride in on a white camel, I think it's about time to pull out of the Middle East.

Of course, that's a rhetorical statement, too. You know we're never gonna get out of the Middle East.

This whole Antichrist thing is starting to make sense. Anyone who could bring peace, even a temporary peace to the Middle East, would be followed to the ends of the earth.

I'm not saying I'm "John the Revelator". I'm just saying...know what I'm sayin'?
