broken axis...

So it is the beginning of a new year. Lots of things have happened in the last week. First of all we lost a president, Gerald Ford. He had the tough job of taking over after Nixon was caught.Then Saddam Hussein was executed for his crimes against humanity.
What good did his death serve? none, with all this controversy stirred up by the leaked tape of his execution... Who knows when stability will ever return to the region. His death did nothing to ease the tensions among the people of Iraq. We are heading for a civial war (if not already there) in Iraq and with the call for an increase in the number of troops to the area, things are not getting any better. Sad.

Well it looks like my blog is now turning into a report of all the people that die in the world. Kind of morbid. Not that I intended for this to happen....
