“Tom Paine” has a great post at Silent Running. Read it. You won’t be sorry. It may even bring a tear to your eye.

Did to mine.

There’s going to be a war.

You realise of couse that in fifty years time, those of us still around will be regarded as silly old codgers, always banging on about the day the war began, and always remembering where we were when we heard the news, and what we did and what we thought, and how we reacted, and how mind-numbingly bored we’ll make our descendants.

I especially liked Gnat as Prez. Good work, “Tom.”
