What, are we in fifth grade now?

September 26th - The U.S. Senate urges Bush to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.

September 29th - The Iranian Parliament declares the CIA and the U.S. Army terrorist organizations.

So this is what it's come down to now - name calling? The most powerful country in the world and a rising power in the Middle East are trading insults? Does anyone else here feel like we're living in the twilight zone?

It's like we're in fifth grade all over again: "You're mean!"

"No you're mean!"

It's time for a time-out for everyone. This is fucking ridiculous.

EXACTLY! this has been my reaction to the news for the past year or so - it's like being in high school all over again! politicians are like kids who never grew up - they've just found a bigger stage and have a few gray hairs.

put 'em all in timeout…seriously.

It is funny in a way but it is also frightening. Hopefully this doesn't escalate things.
