Commentary for September 13, 2007
Never ending war.
I wrote about the Iraq invasion before it happened, and I guessed correctly that it was based on lies. In the end, it has turned out to be a much worse fiasco than I could of imagined.
The war has dragged on for four and a half years now, with no end in sight. The main problem, in my opinion, is that we had a plan to win the war, but not the peace.
Our president keeps telling us success is possible, what what is our goal?
Personally, I don’t know what our goal is. I have tried to read ‘The Road Ahead” plan back in January, and it really didn’t have a clear destination. Now, the plan is the same plan +/-20 %. Surge, no surge, it’s all the same.
I think the president really needs to be honest with America, for once, and tell the American people how long he really thinks we will be over there. My best guess is 20 to 50 years, similar to our occupation of Korea or Japan. Just tell us we will have 80,000 troops there for the next few decades to we can better prepare our military for the long haul.
I know he lied to get us into this war, a little honesty may get us out of it, eventually.
Site updates and Glenn
Updated a little wording on the front page of cyberphreak.com and added a short, new commentary to the words section.
Glenn was a bad boy today and whacked Tiff in the mouth with a book. She is doing better now, but I am sure it hurt, a lot. He has bitch slapped me before, then pulled my hair, in one smooth motion.
I am looking forward to him being a real boy someday. I do believe that the terrible twos go from 1 to 2 not 2 to 3. I may be wrong, I hope not.
I have been using SeaMonkey for a little while now, and it has been working very well. The composer (web page) editor is very very good. It even has a nice ‘publish’ feature which automagically uploads the page to your web server. It makes updating the site much easier. I like Quanta+ if I want to really get into the HTML, but for WYSIWYG editing, the SeaMonkey composer works great.
SeaMonkey has also been very stable. One crash is 2 weeks. The e-mail portion is much faster than Thunderbird and has ALL of the features of Thunderbird as well. Pretty amazing in a 13 meg download. My only complain it one of my favorite FireFox add ons doesn’t work. Oh well, I can live without. As long as Flashblock works, I am happy.
Page loading in SeaMonkey is fast as well, almost as fast as Opera, definitely faster than Firefox. I can’t compare to IE, I don’t run windows at home to compare on the same machine. Opera is a fine browser, but I really don’t care for the e-mail portion of the application.
