I think the other world war were pretty ugly as well. I still remember the sound of my uncle's father coughing and wheezing as he died slowly from the damage that had been done to his lungs by the mustard gas of WWI. Took him about thirty years to die, but he came home from France pretty much unable to do anything but wait for it. Hi Russ, I liked reading your comments. I guess they all have been ugly. I'd like to venture down to Martinsville and buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks before the year is out. I'll be off the rest of the year. My surgery is Wednesday. I think there are some whom we can't reason with. It's scary to think how close Hitler came to completing his objective. I'm not a huge history buff, but I've lived through enough to remember some. If anyone thinks that we can reason with Iran, I think they are blind as a bat. What they do is what NK did to us, and we're letting it happen again. The big difference is the radical mentality in the ME. I have friends in the ME, even from Iran, and they seem like they'd be good neighbors to me. However, the radicals rule. Annihilation isn't a deterrent to them. NK doesn't have this same mentality, but they have a weak leader who wants to seem strong. This is a very dangerous situation. Hey, I never thought that I'd be saying this, but right now France is the only country talking sense with regard to Iran. I personally think the US is very vulnerable right now.

Jon, I look forward to getting together for that cup of coffee. We'll set something up when you're up and about again after getting that pacemaker.
Best of luck tomorrow.
Do you suppose we should show up at Starbucks packing heat to make it more interesting? 8^)
