I'll be honest, even if they were looking for a bomb? I can't say I blame them too much, given what we did to their neighbors, our nuclear ally screaming for rivers of their blood, and our own history with the nation.

Good progress, hoping it lasts. Hell, hope it goes further.

I'm reveling in a moment of reduced war chances tonight.

The kitties and I even did a 'no more war in the ME dance' earlier. Ok, I danced and they looked at me as if I were insane. I freely admit I'm a bit giddy and silly at the moment.

These pics made me smile even more tonight. Which is never a bad thing. My thanks.
