thanks for the comment!

thanks for the commment!

Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill

spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

Thanks for Dev-watching me! I'll try to do some good work.

In regards to your comments on my page and your journal entry let me post this item. And this is a great interview with the Prime Minister of Kurdistan which shows that, while hopeful that Saddam Hussein gets ousted from power, he is all too aware of the US's compromised morals and the consequences those failures have had on his people.

There are other links there and I hope you have the time to check them out.

Don't get me wrong, I think the gassing of the Kurds was one of the great tragedies of this century, but the US’s hands were bloody on this matter long before the first Gulf War let alone now. Last night, I watched the documentary that these links are from and those horrifying images of dead women and children brought tears to my eyes and made me so sad at the fact that human nature never ceases to let me down.

Freeing the Iraqi people is not why the US is going to war. Eliminating terrorism is not why the US is going to war. It is oil and power, pure and simple. It’s disgusting.

Thanks for the link about the gas attacks on Kurds. I know damn well what happened there, and my heart goes out to them, as it does to the troops, Iraqis, and everyone falling victim to this crisis. However, "He gassed his own people!" is the most regurgitated phrase I have heard from Republicans, sort of like how "No Blood for Oil" is to most anti-war protestors. The reasons both point to nothing. Kurds being gassed proves that Hussein is a scumbag, which I think most of our nation thinks he is. However, it has nothing to do with bombing the shit out of cities. They say our weapons are so clean, so precision, but Bush already has the blood of 20+ Allied soldiers on his hands from fuckups. And if you want horror stories, check this one out:

I also have second-hand experience of Operation Desert Fox from one of the guys in my peace group. He's ex-Air Force, and he quit because he couldn't continue on doing what he was doing in good conscience. And he's only 22. Scarred for life. I don't mean to belittle the suffering of the Kurds at all, and they are also going to be victims of this war. Some Turks now think they have the leeway to move in and kick their ass.

Thanks for commenting on "A Bigger Bushier Moron"

I have updated the description on the reasons why I call Bush a moron. Perhaps you would care to read them.

As for the French having economic reasons to oppose the war, that arguement doesn't really hold much water.

Most American oil service companies have used their European (French) subsidiaries to do business with Iraq in order to avoid a PR problem and to not be seen as doing business with Iraq. One of the largest companies to do that was Halliburton Oil. Dick Cheney, the Vice President, was the CEO of Halliburton at the time that they were doing business with Iraq.

You don't hear about that on american media.

General Electric, the parent company of NBC, is also a massive military contractor. As if that is not enough to make you wonder whether or not you are hearing fair and unballanced reporting, they also have admitted doing business with Iraq through their French subsidiary. I did not hear any mention of that when I was watching coverage on MSNBC about the French's "alterior motives" for opposing the war.

Also, the French stand to lose far more in terms of tourism and trade with the US because of it's stand against this war than those oil contracts that the American media point to so enthusiastiically point to. You can look to the useless insanity of "freedom fries" to see exactly how Americans are going to try to economically punish those that don't agree with them.

In terms of who is going to profit the most from what is happening in Iraq it is undeniably the United States and that is, without a doubt, the reason that they are waging this war.

Please do not equate patriotism with following whatever your government tells you. They could not be further apart.
