Adjusting

I am back home. Its been almost 5 days. I am reading, on the back page of the paper, how Jordan and Syria are asking
the world for help in resettling the refugees, from the Iraq War. Of course, the US position is, there is a democracy in
Iraq so there are no refugees. I have yet to figure out why we are in Iraq and what are objective is. I'm pretty sure that
few people here realize the gravity of the situation. How can a tiny country like Jordan/or Syria absorb so many refugees.
7,000 are slated to enter the US in September. I still ask the question, Why is George W still allowed to be president?
If he moves on Iran, I'm pretty sure I will leave the USA. I just don't know where I can go and live without bombs dropping.
Sometimes world peace is an elusive thing, and how can one person make a difference? Can we collectively make a difference?
Will someone listen or are we doomed to fall victim to mindless leaders? I truely feel that we are witnessing the decline and
fall of the United States. I saw enough Roman Ruins to know that all empires fail, especially those that pay no attention
to history!
