Depressing potential war news, and my foggy head

I've been reading some of the news about Iran's push toward going nuclear. They deny they are developing weapons technology, but apparently all evidence says they are. The government is giving some indication of preparing for either war with Iran or at least some kind of strike against its nuclear facilities.

I'm finding all of this really depressing. I was reading a right-leaning commentator who was talking about Iran's nuclear ambitions who actually used the phrase "grave and growing threat" without a hint of irony. This morning on NPR, some government official was quoted as saying we are more confident about what we know about Iran than we were about Iraq three years ago.

When will it stop? I don't know what to make of Iran's ambitions, and I certainly don't see nuclear weapons as a good thing, but what will attacking Iran do to help us ? Won't it drive more people into Al Quaeda? If they develop nukes, so what? Couldn't we just blow them up if they ever used them?

Anyway, I'm taking some decongestant that's making my head feel rather cottony. I am probably not making much sense. I'm sending emails and making phone calls for work, a part of me is wonder, Should I be communicating important things right now? I'm a little bit fuzzy and might be missing something important. Maybe I need to lie down.

Hope you're well, Toe. Don't let our blog go to waste.
