Lame Duck: The Fabled Damned of Nations (slight return)

This is starting to feel like watching a slo-mo car wreck, except that I'm watching it again:

"Officials point to new developments, such as a recent meeting in Rome between an Iranian arms dealer and controversial neoconservative Michael Ledeen and the March creation of the Iranian directorate inside the Pentagon, as examples of recent events similar to the lead up with war in Iraq."

Shit...

"That stony law I stamp to dust: and scatter religion abroa;
To the four winds as a torn book, & none shall gather the leaves;
But they shall rot on desart sands, & consume in bottomless deeps;
To make the desarts blossom, & the deeps shrink to their fountains,"
