Sigh...

Before this mess begins... I have refrained from discussing the likely war in my journal, to date. Even if this war is over in a week and accomplishes everything that this Administration claims (which I certainly doubt, but that's a separate discussion) that still won't justify the arrogant behavior, destruction of international institutions, breaches of trust with our (former) allies, and deaths of civilians that it will require. Both in a path-specific sense (a bad set of actions on the US's part) and in utilitarian terms (doesn't justify the cost). I believe that the current administration is out of control, and is consequently casting us as a rogue state before the rest of the world.

I may not have online access for awhile, as I'm driving down to LA this afternoon (with hopeforyou for meetings at JPL and Northrop.

How do the front gates look? I'm still packing this morning. Don't know how soon I'll be heading out.

Like you, I have refrained from discussing the impending war almost completely...my attitudes and opinions are too strong to really have any chance of discussing it rationally and not have it become a rant on my part.

Hate to say it, but as per Debka.com and what I think are correct timezone corrections, you were a few hours too late for that.
