The US intelligence released a report yesterday, stating that Iran had halted its nuclear weapon program four years ago and wouldn't be capable of getting a nuclear device in the foreseeable future. I thought this is good news, as now maybe the US won't start another war in the middle east. After all, it makes no logical sense for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, all they'd get in return is sanctions from the rest of the world.
However, Bush had this to say this morning: "Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous and Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon." Get over it! Iran is probably no more dangerous than Venezuela to US interests.
Here are some things that are more dangerous to the US and probably much more likely to occur:
1. Global warming destroying our agriculture and water supplies
2. Devaluation of the dollar destroying the US economy
3. Rudolf Giuliani being elected president (or Mitt Romney, or Mike Huckabee, etc)
4. Everyone in America dying from being fat
5. or cancer
6. Hurricanes
7. Volcanos
8. Tsunamis
9. Trans fat
10. Bears

Oh man. Your list was going strong and then it ended with bears. I got to bears and was like what the fuck. I mean bears are serious but don't you think in their place could be something like cars? Cars are more likely to hurt us than bears. Thanks for your witty political commentary... it made me smile.
Rain in mass quantities should be added to this list as well. If feels like the reappearance of Noah is eminent here in the NW. The flooding has subsided briefly but portions of I-5 between Portland and Seattle are still closed because of flooding. Aside from the downpour, why did the closures happen? ...drum roll... The levies broke...again.
