Random Bullshit of the Day....

So Donald Rumsfeld is worried about Venezuela getting 100,000 AK 47s that they are buying from Russia. He claims that this would, "threaten the hemisphere," and is giving Venezuela strict 'cajoling' to not engage in that behavior. Venezuela has shot back, saying that it will cut the export of its oil to the US. Considering it's the 5th largest oil importer to the US, it'll make a difference. Maybe not a detrimental effect, but definitely a dent.

Does anyone else find this ironic? The same regime that has encouraged war- full out BLOOD- for the sake of potential strikes on the US. Apparently it's not an issue for the US to completely arm itself in the 'war against terror' by developing the most powerful weapons ON THE PLANET, but a country that buys a couple of guns is now 'threatening the hemisphere'. I think it's the ultimate in arrogance. "We can do it, but you're not smart enough to handle the pressure. We're the good guys!"

I still can't believe W (and more importantly his REGIME) won. I feel ashamed to be an American. Yes, I'm an Indian first, but you know what I mean- living in the US for 17 years sorta rubs off...
