The U.S. Occupation is Morally Indefensible - A few days ago, some 40 children were blown to pieces while they were gathering candy from American soldiers at the opening of a sewage treatment plant. (Side note: That's how bad things have gotten - we have to celebrate the reconstruction of our sewage treatment plants). I don't know who to be more angry with - the idiots and PR people who thought it would be a good idea to have children running around during a celebration involving troops or the parents for letting their children attend. I the people who arranged the explosions burn within the far-reaches of hell. . . . End the Occupation Now! The propaganda is, since we broke it, we own it. We don't own Iraq, the Iraqis own Iraq. We do owe them. We did break it and we need to support those who want to rebuild what we broke. For that, we have a debt, but the obligation isn't to break it more or get in the middle of an impossible situation. Vietnam was a civil war and even the CIA said to this administration that the probable outcome in Iraq is a civil war. A civil war cannot be prevented by force. Nothing we do will change that. It has been tried before. In Vietnam we lost 58,000 Americans and the Vietnamese lost 3,000,000 and it didn't change a thing. We still lost....John Kerry did good enough in the debate. He didn't challenge Bush on all of Bush's misstatements and there were so many of them but that was because of the format. It seemed that the moderator gave Bush more opportunities to answer Kerry than he gave Kerry to answer Bush, but John Kerry won the debate anyway - because truth was on his side...Bush and the Republicans and all the rest of us are in parallel universes. (September 5, 2004) - * In separate dimensions and separate realities Inability to Perform - personal knowledge about why George W. Bush prematurely left his Texas National Guard unit in 1972--because nerves, fear and a possible drinking problem were affecting his ability to pilot his F-102A plane. If true, this information further confirms a growing body of evidence that Bush has not been candid about his departure from his unit. George Bush couldn't get it up: the plane, that is Articles/News - http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/ ----- / o o \ ===OO=====OO================================================== 4 Portals - 2 News Wikis - 2 Conferences -- No More BuSHIT!
