The difference is…about twenty degrees. It’s much colder this morning and so the coffee is more welcome than usual. But then I remembered that I have been thinking about cutting back on the coffee and drinking more water instead. Coffee (caffeine) is a vasodilator and increases blood pressure, among the many things it does to your body. Another one of those being the fact that it stimulates the brain, a good thing! Maybe I will cut back tomorrow.
Looking at the headlines I see that World War III has escalated once again with an airstrike in Somalia. According to the reports, a small village; real estate, humans and animals were destroyed in the hunt for three terrorists. Collateral damage.
Related news occurred in Venezuela as Chavez reveals plans to take over the oil fields from the four foreign companies now running them.
Related? It’s oil that ties the stories together and Americans will have to understand that we are not leaving Iraq or any place else in the Middle East because of it. Iraq has too much oil to ignore and it’s still the only reason for our being there. Democrats or Republicans, it doesn’t make any difference. Oil will bind us to the Middle East as long as it flows from there. And with Chavez threatening our supply in this hemisphere, Iraq’s oil is even more important.
