If aliens from outer space came down, nuked it with a death ray, and then posed for pictures they'd still blame it on the US and Israel.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Aren't we all glad the US went in and stabilised that country?

Incredibly sad to see such a beautiful place blown to rubble.

Oh yeah, it's been a smashing success. Especially for Haliburton.

Next up: Iran. I hear the drumbeat already about what a "threat" they are.

But what we are not seeing in the media, is all the new hospitals and schools getting built in Iraq...Meh![/DIV]Had a discussion with an amigo that spoke of this?! I asked to share whatever he was smoking.  What I am wondering, will there be a full draft in the USA again soon? I have a lot of American friends and relatives that are worried.

That's why I wish I was in Canada. If they're going to "finish the job" in Iraq, or start some sh*t with Iran or Syria, you can bet there will be a draft. Even just maintaining what's going on now is a strain.[/DIV]Wouldn't be too tough to sell flag waving Joe Redneck on the idea of mandatory military service. Whip out a flag, bible, and a gun and Middle America starts getting all foamy mouthed.[/DIV]No way my boys are going to be cannon fodder for this Corporate Death Machine.
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others
