New York Yankees (Go Yanks!) Pitcher Randy Johnson on Opening Day of the Major League Baseball Season.War talk and sabre-rattling have been marring an otherwise good time in the news year. Iran's been conducting some interesting tests with its new advanced torpedoes and long-range missiles.
Meanwhile, to continue hammering the point I've been making since the beginning of this blog, that despite all the pagentry and hoopla happening around the world what with the Olympics and the World Cup and movies being released, Iraq remains in almost complete chaos. There's a full-blown war going on and no-one seems to notice. Is this because of a lack of concern amongst the average man ? Is everyone so busy working and studying for exams they fail to pause for a moment and remember that people are fighting over oil and democracy half a world away and the West (this includes the U.S. and Canada) has all their dirty fingers in it?
Hopefully, Silvio Berlusconi the fat rat will finally get booted out of office some time this week. That will be the first political casualty in a long list of leaders that need to pay their dues for the tragedy of Iraq and Afghanistan, which in terms of pure numbers and cost, far outweigh the much-better publicized 9/11. Speaking of 9/11, United 93 is coming soon to theaters everywhere.
