I get doom and gloom feelings in my stomach fairly regularly, but they pass... not lately.

[helderheid]

This past week I have been haunted by a feeling of dread. I fear no one will stop this administration and I'm terrified about Iran.

[Cabcere]

1. You're not the only one.

:scared: :hug:

[MisterHowdy]

2. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever

George orwell.

I'm too negative all the time.

4. Negative, or realistic? n/t

5. I know the feeling well

The thing that concerns me most lately is there seems to be a time limit and this is quickly running out .

I feel the more the bush admin feels pressured the more likely they are to react .

This Iran thing seems to keep building up in pressure and these freaks just don't seem to care who is against this . Most of all they can attack Iran and once this starts what's to stop it .

I didn't thing Iraq would be attacked , I did think they would go after Afghanistan but only to seek out Bin not blow the place to bits and occupy it too . Not that I believed bush and his smoke him out bull , I just thought this country was smarter than this . Guess not .

6. Having an imbicilic fratboy president waving his jockstrap at the world can be unsettling.

I've been feeling a bit more than uneasy when he dispatches more ships to the Persian Gulf and levers up the provocations, complete with mysterious "reports" of Iran's "interference" in our new province.

Memories of WMD's, Al-queda connections, and another gulf in SE Asia by the name of Tonkin, are coming back all too frequently.

7. This administration is losing credibility with each passing day

With our citizens and the world. Putin outright declared the U.S. under Bush wants to dominate the world.

Remember, China owns much of our debt. We don't/can't function in a vacuum, economically or otherwise. W is licking his chops to wipe out another nation and take their oil, but the world won't let him. He may not listen to us, but the world can shut him down.

[blues90]

8. perhaps

But if bush does attack what are they going to do , bomb the US , china may hold our debt but america is one of chinas all time consumers of crap .

I don't know what the end result will be but no one stopped them from attacking Iraq .

[helderheid]

9. Will the world shut him down?

[applegrove]

10. Work out, plant a garden, mentor a kid I always say. We human beings

have to pace ourselves. If the news is causing too much stress..take it in smaller doses. Really - we don't want you warn down for the campaigns to come in a year. Try relaxation tapes and belly breathing. Your health is important. We all need balance. And if the drum beat over Iran is getting to you.. work out that stress any way you can.

[blues90]

11. How about a few sleeping pills ?

I can't garden in cement , hell I did'nt even see the birds fly south this year , what's up with that ?

I don't need news anylonger , it's all recorded in my head after 6 years and a magnet has not erased the recording yet .

[helderheid]

12. thank you for that

:hug:

[az chela]

13. So many of us are feeling that fear of what is going to

happen next???I am afraid to read a paper or listen to the news and I havent been sleeping much lately

[Individualist]

14. Same here

The cabal is as hell bent on attacking Iran as they were on invading Iraq, and it seems nothing is being done to stop them.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Try this. It's good for the soul.

16. The worst part is having that fear and then knowing, just knowing

that no one would do a thing to stop it.

That we most probably have STILL not learned our lesson. (We being our representatives in gov't., of course. We, being DU, certainly know better).

17. This video helped a little

18. There is good reason for doom and gloom feelings.

If Iran is attacked my the US, it will be the start of WWIII.

[Nay]

19. Join the club. I can barely sleep if I start thinking about it.

I feel like the other shoe is going to drop any minute.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

20. We have vermin in the WH -- and they are placing a

pox upon us. It's time for a spring cleaning!

[The Straight Story]

21. Grab a porn movie, have some rum, and light up a smoke

if we are going out, might as well have a blast while doing it :)

I know what you are saying though, I remember a tv show about nostradumbass and the war in the middle east and how the purple turban dude pissed off the black man from the new city (obama/america?). I thought about that today actually. Maybe he was no prophet...but then, maybe he was.

[Skidmore]

22. Could be residual dinosaur flatulence, helderheid.

I mean, there's enough of that stuff floating around in the atmosphere, for God's sake.

24. "$800 billion of adjustable-rate mortgages will reset to higher payments this year

and 1 of 11 home loans is both adjustable and sub-prime."

Just reading about what is happening to everyone caught in this HSBC/New Century mortgage lending circus, so I share your doom and gloom feelings. You are watching one type of bomb and my eyes are watching another.

Living in Bush's world is not safe.
