Although home prices are still in free fall and unemployment just keeps getting worse I think the thing that scares me the most is the same, obvious march to war with Iran that we had with Iraq.
At this point in the war planning it feels like June 2002...right around the time the war drums began to beat louder and louder:
Israeli leaders, who have long issued veiled threats against Iran, now appear to be preparing the country for war. New gas mask distribution centers have opened, a nationwide missile alert system has been tested and an official this week warned of hundreds of casualties if Israel unilaterally strikes Iran.
The heightened rhetoric has fueled jitters that the zero hour is near. But there are also growing signs of discontent with the government's approach, with critics accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister, Ehud Barak, of recklessly plunging Israel into an unprecedented missile war.
I also fear widespread urban violence if the election is a repeat of Gore v. Bush:
The possibility of a Republican President, Senate and House.
I guess I can enjoy really low taxes for a few years before I have to start stepping over dead homeless people.
