Thankfully, I am on vacation and am only marginally connected to the unpleasant news coming out of the Middle East. But as Israel escalates its attacks and we face the prospect of a wider regional war, the real question is: where is the world's super power in all of this? And the obvious answer is that we have been severly weakened by the Iraqi follies, and our ability to influence the actions of even our closest allies is virtually non-existent.
I continue to give thanks, though, that there have been no sex scandals in the Bush Administration. That would be a real cause for concern.
Back on vacation I go. Thanks to ProgressiveChurchLady for her posts.
