Yaddayaddayadda. In five years, at the latest, no one will talk like that anymore. Promised.

Concerning the Iraqi president - anyone out there taking that jester serious...? He does a politican's typical job: glossing things over.

Soldiers tend to stubbornly believe exclusively what motivates them for their mission. Cause if they start to question the mission, the morale goes down. I have sympathy for that. Who wants to realize that he is being send into war for lies, and on a lost mission? Realising that really can ruin your day - and the days you still have to spend there. so keep up the sweet dream, as long as possible. Maybe you can win some more minutes before the rough awakening.

And what has all that to do with the detoriating situation concerning torture over there, practiced from all sides? It has been reported soince over a year, by many different medias, correspondents, organisations over the last year - not only by the UN now.

I guess if you knew that you were doing a mission for a bunch of lies, it might affect your moral. Good thing that what they are fighting for is the right thing!!! Most of those soldiers have a "Brain" Skybird and can figure out that they are doing the world a favor! Maybe one day you will figure it out too! :p

Stars shining bright above you,
night breezes seem to whipser I love you,
birds singing in a sycamore tree
dream a little dream of me.

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

The "terrorists don't respect GC" argument is wearing thin..

1) This isnt really about whoever you're fighting against, it's about your country's respect and self-image. I've used the slippery-slope argument so often in the last few years I'm not bothered anymore.

1a) How the hell can you fight "terror"? It's a bleedin' tactic, not a country.

2) Is this really about "clarifying" the GC? There would not be this kind of fuss if this was over a legal term-switching. W wants to be able to do things he cant legally do/has just been found out doing.

You right Wing Republicans...are...arrrrg!
A unfriendly bunch of war-for-profit people who think Europeans are Stupid fools. I know a Friend from America, he's now here in Austria. And Hell, he finally did Realise how much USA *Add Insult Here*.

Maybe you all should come over here and try it out!

Time for a Song Parody.

This is the USA, Mister Jones
No free health insurance or prepaid telephones
You had your Money in wallet before
But you won't have it there any more
(Credit Cards)

This is the USA, Mister Green
We like the Guns nice and clean
You had a Policman to kill your Criminals before
But he won't help you out any more

Do what the Employer command
They're in the Republican Party and not in a band

This is the USA, Mister Brown
You and your Gun went to town
The Mugger had you worried about this Street
And he won't worry you anymore
*Gunshot Sound*

How do you know there will be an election after this one? Bush thinks he's called by God to lead this country until the job is done. How do you know he will leave office?

Maybe. If you AGAIN "Elect" (If you can call it that) a Republican Cowboy like Bush for President, there will be a Very angry Post here. And after this President (Wich will be Controlled by the Bush's, thier Money and Companys), there will be again: Right, a Bush!

Nostradamus was right.

Like the Pope. Pope Bush.

But in the end it's all a Conspirancy by the three stooges.
