Something to worry about..

Over the past month I have been reading so much in the daily papers about Kuwait's preparedness in case a war develops between the US and Iran with this tiny country smack dab in the middle of it all. Let's see...I read that Kuwait is installing sensors all around its' borders to detect nuclear radiation. And then I read that the government was ensuring that the food supply and water supply was adequate in case of a war. And most recently I read that the government has ordered 60 million iodine tablets that will be delivered within two weeks. Apparently, iodine immunizes a person from nuclear radiation. I have NEVER heard that but I pray it is true because I think nuclear radiation entering Kuwait is my greatest fear.

So, I guess it is not 'if' the US will attack Iran but 'when'.

From my perspective, Bush wants to annihilate as many Muslims as he can before he leaves office. Both India and Israel have nukes but the US never demands that they disarm. And no I do not support nuclear weapons at all. But it just seems that once again Muslims are portrayed as being trigger-happy and uncontrollable. But THAT is a whole other debate.

I really am in no mood to have to prepare for a war. We did that when the US invaded Iraq in 2003. We stayed in Kuwait. We sealed our windows in plastic and stocked up on food/water. I will never forget the day of the deadline for Saddam to step down or face an attack. I sent my husband to get candles and batteries in the early afternoon. He went to the Jemia and people were fighting over the candles. I remember looking out my window and seeing people running into their homes with bags of groceries and armloads of bread. Good grief! May Allah save Kuwait!
