As Good Time As Ever

APEC Summit 2003 - Bangkok, Thailand

George and his 3000 + security detail will be wandering around Bangkok this week as APEC gets under way.  Putin and other big shots will be here as well.  I wonder if George will finally own up to the fact that he hoodwinked Americans into fighting Iraq.  Was there ever a fight?  One of my colleagues suggested that we pummeled Iraq because we knew we could do it.  An analogy would be a schoolyard bully who beats up the weakest nerd.  It would be an easy conquest, at least ousting Saddam.  Now, as we know, we are making more havoc than peace.  Nothing ever ends. - part of an email to a relative in 2003

I was living in Bangkok then.  I wrote a more general piece about the summit.  You can read it here.

Yesterday this popped up in the news.  Ukrainian church in Chicago.  Made me go Hmmm.
