Don't sweat it.

In all actuality, I just think alot, and my thinking pattern works hand in hand with written communication. I got this from my dad - he's a phenomenal writer in two Filipino dialects and english. I average about 4-5 minutes per comment, and I max myself out at 10 minutes. If someone's journal really makes me think, I'll take some time.

But really, I don't expect to start some kind of grand discussion. I just birth all these thoughts and rather than abort them stillborn, I leave them at the doorstep of people's minds. Maybe those thoughts'll get adopted, maybe they'll die of exposure. And I'm alright with that. Survival of the fittest, and all.

Firstly, I'm not sure that the solution to Iran is a military one. An all-emcompassing international isolation of the country would be better.

Secondly, even if the preferred option is military, I don't see why it has to be down to the Brits and Yanks.

Because Russia, Germany, France & Kofi Annan's son had secret deals with Saddam, it was down to us to enforce UN regulations in Iraq and clear the threat Saddam's dynasty posed to our collective future.

Why should we also pay for Iran? Let French soldiers die this time. Let German tax payers foot the bill.

Of course they won't...which means inevitably, Israel will have to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities and the world will have mutual scapegoat to moan at (and be secretly grateful to, at the same time),
