its true - im an idiot. remember the odd thing about jennings - doing the whole 'saul' thing that i couldnt work out... im so dumb: saul = 'conversion on the road to damascus'. damascus is in syria. ive been saying that syria will be next for at least a year now. and i didnt make the connection. im sooooooooo dumb. 'the road to damascus''the road to damascus''the road to damascus''the road to damascus''the road to damascus''the road to damascus''the road to damascus' how did i miss it? grrr.

syria is toast.

and for over a year ive said 'its odd that the US is sabre-rattling when they obviously have headcount constraints. they must either institute the draft, or start nuking everyone' - id like to add a 3rd possibility ftr - that they institute the draft and nuke just a few countries.

praps therefore the universal draft is a good idea, if it means therell be less nuking. praps thats why the current draft proposals are so keen to recruit 33m kids under the guise of 'civillian service' - with 'only 500k or so in the military' - a hundred bux says we'll see that 'creep' before 2008. prolly to 5m or so.

and for g and pams benefit - ive previously wrestled with the idea about whether syria or iran will be next - the main story seems to be that iran is next, but i kept sensing steadfastly that syria was next for some reason - and i think i came to the curious tentative conclusion that it would maybe happen simultaneously. altho things seem to have swung toward iran - with the sadr thing, and the assassination of the iranian diplomat last week.
