I'm terrified right now.

I know this is not a political forum but I just read about the US plans to bomb Iran. I am seriously scared. Is anyone else scared like me?

Or better yet.....Is there any comforting idea me and any others who are scared can hold onto? The only thing I can think of is move.

1. Shit, the way things are going

you might end up moving to a place that Bush will want to bomb. I think that's most everywhere.

Do you have a link to the story you read?

3. I understand. Last night I dreamt there were more attacks here

It was a freaky as shit dream.
But thankfully it was just that- a dream! I hope it stays that way.

Starting shit with Iran is NOT the way to go.
I fear that will start some real scary shit.

:scared:

4. Read the other day that there will be more and more media hit pieces

to push for (bombing) attacking Iran.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1696253&mesg_id=1696253

However, I really believe these thugs have had this in the works, with a planned date/time period to actually go through with this stupidly insane and world-changing attack.

They are fools. They are putting the world at such a great risk, that there may not be any recovery.

I think that IF they do attack Iran, Israel will become a target and/or involved otherwise, as well as Syria, Pakistan, India, Russia, and eventually China.

Help! Somebody stop these criminals!!!

5. Do not give in to the fear. Don't feed into it.

I am very serious when I tell you that fear only makes it worse. Stay strong and keep speaking truth to them all. We KNOW where the problem is at--right here in our own government. Keep on speaking out and know that you have done your part in our democracy.

Not to get all geeky by quoting SF books, but maybe Herbert got it right in Dune, "Fear is the mind killer..."

7. I agree

This next election "security" will be the republican's main campaign issue. They're already chumming the waters and telling the voters not to go swimming unless they're the lifeguards.

The cold war era with Russia is also conveniently being brought back to life since it worked so well for Reagan.

6. I'm with you.

They're going to start WW3. The plan has been in the works for a long time. And there is nothing we can do to stop them. I wish I could move to to a safer place in the world. I don't even know where the safest place in this country would be.

:cry:

Whenever the political world gets you down, just keep repeating, "macaroni and cheese, macaroni and cheese, macaroni and cheese ...."
