Dancing in Teheran

This week's Time magazine has a cover story about Iran, with an article about what a war with Iran might look like. Sounds like we're definitely headed toward a confrontation. My opinion? Sure, go ahead and invade. The Iranian people will welcome us as liberators. They'll throng the streets as our tanks drive by, showering flower petals on our troops and breaking out the wine glasses. They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing, dancing in the street. All we need is music, sweet music. There'll be music everywhere.

George Bush can occupy Iran, and then let the next president deal with it. As soon as he/she deals with catching Bin Laden...and leaving Afghanistan...and Iraq...and rebuilding New Orleans...and filling in that unsightly hole in the ground in The Big Apple...and fixing immigration...and health care...and global warming. Okay, our soldiers in Iran might have to wait a few years. But hey, it's not like they'll be in danger or anything. Meanwhile, maybe it's time for some more tax cuts so we can do some more shopping. Yeah, that's the ticket!

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
