My biggest frustration with the election ads and campaigns begins with the word change. It has been assumed that change is what America needs. The word Change has become a synonym for good. Maybe it would be better if America just took a deep breath for four years and let the dust settle. Instead of "impulse" voting perhaps it would be better to pick a candidate who wouldn't change everything and we could get a little perspective on our current situation. I dunno. 4 years is a long time.
Iran claims that America faked the video of the the sea confrontation between a US vessel and Iranian military speed boats. The worst part is, I could see America faking the video. and if I can't trust my country about this video what can I trust them on? I still think that Iran is pushing buttons and I believe what we've been told but my own doubt scares me.
A.Ha should be allowed to run for Mayor.
on a less serious note:
My wost case scenario for the future. Iran starts a war with America or vice verse and Nukes start exploding but before to many of them do, we annihilate Iran, but China is there to pick up the pieces. We get invaded by the Chinese which pretty much starts world war III. The anti-christ arises in the form of an American Idol, it's Armageddon and it's the end of the world as we know it. Hope for the best but plan for the worst. Start building your underground bomb shelters now.

interesting perspective.
i like it.
AND it's totally against everything my personality desires... BUT it is something i think jesus is teaching me/us now: WAIT. invest in the "little things".
thanks for posting on this.
in your opinion, which candidate best represents this "plan of INaction"?
See you forgot about the terminators. They will come from the future to kill us all, because...they are apple! Dang you Steve Jobs, you have doomed us ALL!
you know this is kinda random, but I think that the waiting has been Americans problem for years. Americans are dying in Viteam, lets wait and see if we can still win. World War II/I American had a lets wait and see. Maybe its time that American doesn't wait and see what can happen. By the way bens comment is mine, dont ask me how it happened but it did.
P.S. note to all:
I'm pretty unsure of my statements, I merely was trying to point out that every one is demanding change. and everyone is assuming that change is a good thing... and I'm not saying that one should try to stop change, I'm just saying maybe we shouldn't force it. Slow down what's the hurry?
To aj:
Change is what brought us into Iraq. 9/11 was change. Change put us in Vietnam. determination kept us there. we made a choice and said we won't give up. determination is not waiting. it is the constant forceful will of continuing in a given direction. your "change" may refer to the act of giving up a painful choice. we had barely entered WW I before it was over and the difference between WW II and now is the fact that the war was "justified" in the eyes of america.
Other problems in America may have been caused by procrastinating, oil perhaps or social security perhaps? Waiting in the sense i mean it is a different matter altogether. I guess i am merely asking if (for example) we can wait and see what the effect of the war has had on the economy before we change it?
(yet again i repeat myself; these thoughts have not yet received much scrutiny in my own mind and therefore I support my arguments only 50%)
To Justin:
I haven't even yet thought about which candidate would be best suited for inaction. certainly though not the front runners, excluding hillary.
and yet, the president can't, by himself, create change. they need congress's approval. we vote for them to. so in the end isn't it our own faults for iraq. maybe our leaders are merely our scapegoats.
(wow that was one weird tangent read but please ignore for future discussion)
