I am now done with finals. W00t. Life is now good. I will now, as I was telling Suzanne, demonstrate my primal superiority over the corpse of my finals by playing computer games until I can no longer see straight. Raaaaaarg.
Too, it may well be that I'll be seeing The Last Samurai tonight. Whee!
A few random thoughts.
First, MY National Guard can beat up Marechal's National Guard. While he's got some Paladins, a bunch of infantry, and some F-16s, I've got M1A1 tanks, infantry, and twice as many F-15s as his F-16s. Nyah.
Yes, we really DO have arguments about these sorts of things. Frightening, I know.
On a further note:
There's an operation in Iraq going right now called "Operation Panther Squeeze." Who the HELL comes up with these names? Honestly.
So, after announcing that nations who were against the war, won't get any contracts in rebuilding Iraq, Bush wants them to help out Iraq monatarily ANYWAY. Anybody wanna figure that out?
Too, with the pressing need for more troops in Iraq, especially Iraqi troops...a third of the new army just quit. Whups.

I mean, to borrow your phrase, we could hardly expect it to turn into a bastion of Goodness, Light, and The Warm Fuzzy Feeling right away.
Though this is still not good.

As far as I'm concerned, and as far as at least half the American public is concerned, they supported Saddam's death machine but not being opposed to it. I don't give a rat's ass if it's someone else's country. There's a higher purpose here, people. It's not Bush's higher purpose (re-election), but it's a higher purpose nonetheless.
Oh, and both your National Guards could easily squash my five hummer having National Guard.
