Phoney War III

The beginnings of World War I were underwealming. Archduke gets shot. Declarations of War are tossed around and.... the crickets chirp... and chirp ... and chirp. There were headlines of it all being a phoney war. Back in those days it took a bit longer for militaries to mobilize but still... there seemed to be a lot of sitting around in the beginning....


So George Bush says today that we are in World War III ... yes folks it is here because George Bush says so. Does it feel like a war? Seriously... yes we see news about Iraq nightly. Clearly a good many of our soldiers are in harms way. They certainly are in a military conflict. Soldiers are dying... but as a country we are hardly mobilized. There is something phoney about it....
