Rogue Nation

Ye Gods and little fishes!

The US has invaded an Iranian consulate in the Northern Iraqi city of Irbil and taken some of the staff prisoner as well as confiscating papers and computers. No wonder people are firing rockets at our embassies.

According to NPR: The Kurds, our allies who run that part of Iraq, have expressed "concern and condemnation" over the violation of the region's sovereignty and of international immunity laws.

I think someone is trying to start World War III, and it isn't anyone in the Middle East. Invading consulates is traditionally considered a just cause for war. Apparently, someone decided that giving Iran a cause for war would be a nice change of pace after manufacturing a cause for war with Iraq.

I hope we can survive until January 2008.
