From the comments box below:

no need 4 words just a smidgen of anthrax

I think this is too important a reply to leave hiding in the comments box to a blog that less than 40 people a day read, 50% of which are after the latest research on Cuntbusting methodology (if i wanted more readers, perhaps I should just give them what they want?) and another 25% interested in "sexy arab girls" or "arab sex girl" "sex arab" "arabsex" etc. So...

I'd agree with you if it weren't for my crossing the US/Canadian border 4 times in the next ten days. So let me state for the record that your comments are wrong, treasonous, anti-american and most importantly do both slayer and metallica a great disservice by not mentioning them in the same breath.


boom boom


I'd also like to add that I strongly support the troops, foetuses, heterosexual marriage, Lord Jesus and the Divine Right of Kings.

For a man with more cogent views than my own, I recommend Jesus' General

And on an only slightly more serious note, listening to the debate in Congress the other day for the non-binding resolution to condemn the President's troop surge plans I found myself siding with the shrill Republicans who were urging a 'no' vote. It seems to me the new majority in Congress and many on the other side of the floor don't know how to say sorry for collectively losing their heads and voting for the war in the first place. Hilary's excuses are not apologies. Speech after speech was concerned with how they got themselves into this mess in the first place - four years too late. If you're going to condemn the war, actually condemn it and yourselves with it. But after 4 years of bullshit rhetoric about how supporting the troops means supporting the war and the commander-in-chief, what hadn't been true in the past now is. Sending a message to those poor fuckers out there that you don't believe in what they're doing doesn't help matters. But that's a side issue to killing and being killed in general. Nobody knows how to run a war anymore. The generals should be able to do what they need to do and the Commander-In-Chief should fall on his fucking sword if they and he fuck up. Both should have happened by now.

Nobody knows what to do. At least Bush has decided, if only by default, that he started this mess and he's going to finish it. Pulling out now (or ever?) will exacerbate this civil war and prompt a serious grab for the spoils by every neighbour. It could be a battlefield for a very long time as Iran, Syria, Saudi, Jordan and Turkey all feel it necessary to play out their respective differences with eachother and their own ethnic minorities. 3000 american troops dead is really not very much. 60,000 died in Vietnam (Hands up who knows how many Vietnamese died?). Politicians the world over regard people as a resource and maybe they have to if they're going to make any decisions at all. So it's rich, nay luxurious, of anyone to start getting a conscience now about how many people have died - either all human life is sacred in which case you should protest all conflict or its all expendable in the cause of the greater good (which this President's stated, unstated and implied aims aren't).
