Peace through strength. Happy talk time over tea and crumpets waiting waiting for the UN (useless nation) is over.

You may be right, which I hate admitting because I had a very strong gut reaction to the news this morning.

But throw in the UN, and I have to concede the point. I spent an entire day at the UN as a guest of someone who worked there, dined in the delegates dining room, even went to a concert performed for delegates at Lincoln Center. Atmosphere at the UN building was murky with fuzzy thinking, and lots of it. Even worse, delegates from African countries that didn't even have paved streets in their capitol cities arrived late at the concert wearing $10,000 suits and even more expensive watches, with gorgeous platinum blonds at their side.

These are in no way people I want making decisions for the USA or the world.

But allow me an hour to get over the gut feeling that bombs are the wrong thing. I also had a gut feeling that Trump would become president 15 months before the election, when people here were for Cruz or Rubio or Jeb!

Woman's intuition. So we shall see.

I had the same initial reaction. My whole body tightened up, a giant cringe. Slowly getting over it. Don’t know if it is a mama bear thing on my part but as I learn more about this bomb, I’m settling into the fact that it was a good thing. I needed a lot longer than an hour, though.

Woke up from a nightmare at 4:30 this morning with a lingering fuzzy picture of Drudge with timelines of how the United States had been attacked over night. First New York, then Chicago. *shudder* It was creepy!

I still have these same feelings and remind myself each time we haven’t been the global leader we should have been for the last 8 years. As such we have been conditioned to no longer lead but follow so when something like this occurs we are shaken.

With the void in leadership Russia who has no US interests in mind have filled the leadership gap serving their own interests and weakening the US. If it isn’t the US it certainly won’t be the UN.
