Instability is the Word of the Day
There seems to be a fair amount of general upheaval going on throughout the world right now. Perhaps now is a good time to talk of quagmires, defined as a difficult or precarious situation; a predicament. I'm sorry sir, I'd have to disagree. A predicament is when I eat too much chinese food and experience the ramifications of my actions. This, however, is somewhat beyond that definition. Typically I think that asserting a curse with another word would do a fair job of describing the situation, such as "shitstorm" or "clusterfuck," but in this situation the curses almost trivialize a situation of unexplainable severity.
At this point, it looks like Iraq as a country has passed up the crossroads of Civil War v. Stable Shithole and opted to just keep on keeping on toward the natural end of a country with three different ethnic groups who fundamentally hate each other (if shiites and sunnis can be considered opposing ethnic groups). If you aren't aware of what is going on there, I would suggest going to cnn.com or csmonitor.com or any news service at all because I'm certain that any article I might link to here would be long rendered inaccurate by the time you clicked the click.
I actually don't care about the "port flap" in any major way. It seems that the issue should be that no one was aware that it was taking place, not that we're handing our ports over to "the enemy." Democrats being upset is no surprise, but the fact that most Republicans are against the deal is a strange twist, especially because it's hard to find anything wrong with the deal besides a prejudice against Arab countries.
Britain had roughly $87 million stolen earlier in the week, and Yoweri Museveni has been reelected President of Uganda for a 3rd term after already being in power for more than 20 years.
If things continue, next week we should see Hamas declare war on Israel (officially), and China will declare Martial Law (officially) and execute several thousand peasants, continuing a long-standing tradition.
