A brief post in which I recall the verses sung by my mother while a passenger in the car my first time driving on the open road

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn.
Next stop is Vietnam.

And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die.

Actually, she mostly just stuck to the last two lines.


A spokeswoman for Britain's Foreign Office called today's news "a very negative development that will seriously jeopardize the negotiating process," according to Agence France-Presse.

France's President, Jacques Chirac, spoke of the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea in a speech to diplomats today, Reuters reported. "The international community must imperatively ensure that commitments made for the security of all are respected," he said.

Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, which has been reluctant to consider sanctions, called the resumption of research "cause for concern," according to Reuters.

I used to sing that same song when teaching my children to drive! Seriously!

As for the second half of the post - it looks like we are going down the same road as we did with Iraq doesn't it?

Yep, but this one's a sequel, so in order to hold the audience's attention, the body count will have to be much higher.
