Sometimes I get so scared…

There were rumblings today about Iran possibly being willing to negotiate about their “nuclear program.”  I try to forget that Israel is poised on the verge of starting a war like we have never seen before, a war horrible beyond imagining.  But here is the New York Times saying that some suspect that Iran is only trying to “buy time,” two weeks from the U.S. Presidential election in proposing talks.

Buying time?  Two weeks?  Are we really that close to Israel attacking Iran, with or without U.S. immediate military support?

While Obama and Romney spar, far more like prizefighters than statesmen.  Are these the men, and the men and women around them, who will decide our fate?

It terrifies me.
