Did you ever have one of those days where your mind is drifting and then you remember that our country, the beacon of hope and democracy for the world, the most powerful nation in the history of the world, is bogged down in a pointless, horrific war in Iraq?
I had one of those moments earlier today.
I have nothing insightful to say about the war, no plans for getting out, no discussion of the political fights, nothing to say about the Petraeus report. Today I’m just a guy wondering how we ever ended up in such a stupid and ridiculous situation.
It’s depressing which is why I sometimes just avoid thinking about it, but pretending it’s not there doesn’t make it go away.
