No Brainer

The Democrats gave the Bush administration a hard time when he asked for a military increase several months ago saying it was the wrong decision. They said it would cause the area to become even more dangerous and more violence and deaths towards American soldiers. Boy were they wrong!

The military push President George Bush asked for and got has been paying off. It has not been the cure-all for violence, but definitely has decreased the majority of it. The increase in military presence has been helpful in reducing Al Qaeda and helped give Iraqis back their country.

Iraqis are banding together behind the American military support. If anyone is suspected of being an Al Qaeda member or involved in terrorism, residents are quickly reporting them to the Iraqi police and American military who in turn check them out and/or pick them up for questioning.

Areas around Iraq are becoming safer for residents. Iraqis are back working, doing business, playing sports and enjoying leisure time in the evenings all without fear of terrorism from Al Qaeda.

Keep your eyes on Iraq! The country may be the safest place in the Middle East for anyone to visit in the near future, although you may not want to holiday there until the debris from the war is cleaned up, unless you vacation there to help clean up the debris!

I am enjoying a nice cool summer right now. So if you know anything about the Kansai area of Japan, then you will know that in order for that to happen I must be abroad or somewhere else in Japan like Hokkaido.

Yo, Dude! I’m not in Hokkaido. I’m like in California where it’s like dude this and like dude that. I’ve been away in Japan like so long and so like hardly ever come to California to visit, I like forgot how often people say the word “like” and “dude” in their sentence. You know what I mean, man?

But aside from all the likes and dudes, it’s pretty nice being here especially when it comes to weather. The temperature here is about 15 C at night and 23 C during the daytime. The only other place in the world better than the Ventura-Oxnard-Camarillo area is the French Riviera, and like Dude, that’s way too expensive and far away for me to go in summer. And like I don’t know anyone there anyways. So Cali it is.
