I've been shaking my head for about a week now over the incomprehensible turn *diplomacy* has taken. Two weeks ago, when I thought Condi Rice was in charge, and Rumsfeld had a clue, it was great. The whole world was breathless to see what we would do to avenge these horrific acts of war, including many young people and discharged Veterans who ran, not walked to their nearest recruiters' offices.
And then Colin Powell kept talking into the camera, and Peres kept talking into the camera. Both were told to shut up, but it only made them louder and more determined.
I am not sure at what point I began to feel that familiar kick to the stomach, but it was there and wouldn't go away no matter what. I tried to believe that Bush was so much more than anyone ever gave him credit for. Waiting and waiting to see what his next move would be.
Ever since the election I've been telling everyone that Bush was a good man. He would never let us down. He knew the right thing and would do it, even if the entire world said otherwise. I thought he proved it with the envirowhacks and the Kyodo Treaty, Missile Defense, like it or lump it.
Now, I am coming from numbness and going on an ammo run forthwith.
