I see you need new glasses

From a poll on time.com.

Which country poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003?
North Korea 5.6 %
Iraq 6.6 %
The United States 87.8 %

Amazing. What I don’t understand is this. Basically the entire world except G. ‘Dubya’ Bush, Tony Blair and around half of Americans think starting a war is a bad idea. Some quick math…. 5 billion people against about 150 million and 2 in favour.

ACK. Gee, and you wonder why the Americans are disliked so much outside of the U.S. of A.. WELL DUH.

Ha… an even better poll from the same website:

Why do Europeans attack President Bush’s line on war with Iraq?
They doubt Saddam is a danger 6.0%
They don’t want Iraqis to die 3.6%
They fear war may spread 11.8%
They think war will hit efforts to beat terror 5.9%
They suspect Bush’s motives 45.6%
They’ve forgotten the lesson of history 12.5%
They’re jealous of America 14.7%
Total Votes Cast: 28068

Yes, Saddam is a murderous bastard. But isn’t the current U.S. policy going put Bush into a similar role? You go cowboy.

Update: Time link is dead.

ugh…my eyes! they burn!

So I went an optometrist today to get my eyes examined. My eyesight has become worse (again). So I need new lenses… another $300-$400 for glasses. Joy. 😦

arg.

ok. so it was a long Monday… I get home and have a power nap. I wake up 5 hours later (from what was suppose to be a 15-30 minutes of nappy time) oi-vey. Naturally now I can’t sleep.
