I haven't forgotten about you

It seems like I haven't posted in a while, but with the hubster home after an 18 month deployment, things have been a little crazy. I will be posting but it might take a while. We're taking Katie to Disneyland next week. I'm hoping to get a couple posts up before that (maybe even an old one - you know who you are), but just in case you know why I'm not around.

Hong Kong Protesters

Hong Kong Protesters

"The two women, painted deathly grey and lying in cardboard coffins covered in flowers, pulled the Halloween stunt outside a branch of US fastfood chain KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) in the Causeway Bay district."

Now you would think with Avian Flu becoming a problem, especially in this area of the world, they would prefer their chickens dead. Since the last three pandemics all had a beginning with birds, I'm thinking all Asian birds should be eliminated. They seem to be causing alot of problems. And, no, I'm not a member of PETA. I know it's hard to tell.

Iran

Tehran fires 40 envoys

"Iran said 40 ambassadors and senior diplomats, including supporters of warmer ties with the West, will be fired, continuing a purge as the regime takes an increasingly tough stance at home and abroad.

The diplomatic changes announced Wednesday are part of a government shuffle by conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that includes putting Islamic hard-liners in key posts at security agencies."

What do you do with someone that is intent on fighting against peace, which is basically what he's doing? Between this and his comments about wiping Israel off the map, how do you respond to this? The UN, in my opinion, probably won't do much. I know that if Iran was sending "Islamic hard-liners" into an embassy that was in my country, I would close the embassy. (Keep in mind that I'm Queen, so I can close the embassy.)

But seriously, assuming that Israel doesn't do something first, how do you deal with this country? He was just elected so it's not like their leader has lost his mind and they need to figure out how to deal with him, the people seem to support him. And it sounds like the people who don't support him are not in a very good position to do something about it right now.
