Bombs over Tripoli

Remember that Outkast song bombs over baghdad? that was around the time of the first second iraq invasion. now it starts again as the US, along with the French and Brits, are trying to stop Ghadaffi from killing his own.

Is this a start of international countries taking responsibility to protect free rights? Or is it yet another ploy for oil?

Also, Is it true that each Tomahawk missile fired costs 1/2 a million dollars? In one hour 55 million down the tubes.... what a way to spend cash....NPR's funding for 3 years in 30 minutes. Fantastic.

Alarming Radiation Graph

I found this radiation table almost as interesting as the tsunami wave picture in the previous post:

Check it out, it depicts all the various levels of radiation we're exposed to all the way up to a nuclear reactor (or at least cleaning up a broken one).

Really puts things into perspective, again....

Wave Photo

Our thoughts and prayers (and money) are with the Japanese. I'm sure most of you have seen the devastating clips. But how about this photo?



Just shows how insignificant yet connected we really are....
