Why I decided to stop worrying and learned to love the bomb...

Just finished reading "Bush at War" by Bob Woodward. Excellent book that I suggest everyone anti or pro war should read. A real insight into what has lead us to the eve of war with Iraq.

Based on reading it though I have become a bit depressed. As the fact that there is going to be a war with Iraq was sealed long, long ago. Nearly from the minute that the Supreme Court appointed Bush to the Presidency. I will have to say that after reading the book I do have a bit more respect for Bush's political skills and frevently hope that Powell runs for and wins the presidency some time very soon. I feel he would make a great one.

I heard some pretty good reviews about "Bush at War", and those seemed to come from both sides of the aisle. A book that I read about a month ago called, "What's So Great About America" by Dinesh D' Souza (spelling?), was an instant classic for me. He basically gave his comprehensive opinion about America (mostly good, some bad) through the perspective of a native born Indian (Asian). He's a brilliant writer and good read for anyone who is willing to have a paradigm shift.

Another excellent, but sad, book that I am reading right now is called, "The Aquariums of Pyongyang, Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag, by Kang Chol-Hwan. It is sad because it shows the lies of Communism and more specifically, Kim Il-Sung/Kim Jong-Il's twisted idea of a Utopia of social justice... North Korea. If you are not sure that North Korea is all that bad, then I would strongly recommend reading this book.
