No risk.

Aha! So I was playing risk over the Thanksgiving break with my brother and sister. My sister was out first, and my brother and I were the only ones left… although, admittedly, I was losing. A friend came over, and I had him take over for me while I was in the shower.

Sitting there with the hot water running down my face I wondered how the game was going… although I didn’t really care either way. If my friend lost, it would be his loss not mine, although, how could he feel bad about losing a game he never started? He never had to start the war, and I never had to lose it. It’s a win, win, situation. I realized that it’s the same thing going on with Iraq. It won’t matter to Bush if we lose the war after he’s not president, and it won’t matter to whoever the new president is if we lose a war he never started. Bingo bango bungo. It’s also the same thing that happened in Vietnam with Johnson and Nixon. Maybe this just happens all the time, and I never really understood it until that game of Risk a few days ago.
