03/31/2004: "Where do I start?"

Fallujah
My reflex action is to hope the military goes in shooting at anything that moves or maybe just drop some napalm on the entire city and barbeque them alive. Then I get control of myself and I hope the military is getting some help in that area from the residents who do want to see the country succeed and that one by one they will weed out the bad guys and kill them. The terrorist have succeeded in changing one thing. I want them dead just as badly or worse than they want me dead. Sick and barbaric bastards.

Time for a little boost of my spirits so I read the Iraqi Blogs that I follow to reassure myself that there is some sanity over there and I found that MSNBC is running a series called Iraq One Year Later. I went through the slideshow and got really depressed. Not a single slant towards anything positive. I scrolled down the page and found a Wounded in Action and thought I would hear if any of the soldiers who have been there had anything good to say and boy did they. If you are burned or have lost a limb and you have no regrets because you were doing something good there, then who am I to feel down today. Here's the link if you need a little picker upper.

World Court Rules US Violated Mexican's Rights
You got to love this one. The case was about 52 Mexican citizens who are on death row here who's rights were violated because we didn't inform them that they have a right to contact their government for assistance. If their government was willing to give some kind of assistance to its citizens, maybe they would have been in their own country to begin with! These are 52 convicted murderers in our luxury jails at a phenomenal cost to the American taxpayer of whom 49 are still exercising their right to appeal and the World Court has ordered us to review their cases. If we don’t, the matter could be handed over to the UN Security Council. What a joke! The Axis of Weasels might get involved, now I’m scared. Bring it on.

War for Oil
Hey all you anti-war protestor brain trusts, where’s the oil we went to war over? It’s been a year since the “War for Oil” began and I’m paying a frapping fortune at the pump for gasoline. If prices go much higher, we will all wish the war had been for oil. Morons.

Manana.
