Why Iraq?

Seriously, I don't think anyone has an answer (at least a plausible, good one) for this question.

Neither does Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame. However, his ideas are interested to read, at the very least.

I would have something possibly interesting to share today, but I don't want to share it and then have it not happen, so if it does happen you'll be the first to know. Stay tuned.

Something tragically interesting did happen a couple nights ago in Butte, however. Some poor guy got murdered at the Butte Bus Station, and F and I happened to drive past the cordoned-off crime scene an hour later.
