       Ack!!! My favorite 'imbedded' reporter, David Bloom, with NBC/MSNBC died this morning! He was imbedded with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division. They are currently reporting that he died as a result of a pulmonary embolism.
         I have been watching him from the beginning, with his clear, honest reporting from the 'front.' His youthful exuberance was refreshing. I will miss his reporting. He leaves behind three daughters, including a pair of twin daughters, along with his wife. He was just 39-years-old & would have turned 40 next month (a Gemini, born on May 22). Blessings to his family.


         April is an active and social month for you, Gemini. Expect an abundance of pleasurable interactions, as well as opportunities for travel. You are likely to have a chance to meet new people through the groups with which you are associated. Romance may also be on your agenda this month. Since a commitment could be discussed before the month is over, think seriously about what you're getting into. Sidestep other peoples' battles at the end of the month. Welcome a special visitor from the past.


    How ironic.


    Recently received in an email:


    "A Deck of Cards"


    A young soldier was in his bunkhouse all alone one Sunday morning over in Afghanistan. It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn't made a noise.


    The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week. As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk.


    Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?"


    The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord."


    The sergeant said, "Looks like you're going to play cards."


    The soldier said, "No sir, you see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards."


    The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?"


    "You see the Ace, Sergeant, it reminds that there is only one God.


    "The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments.


    "The Three represents the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.


    "The Four stands for the Four Apostles: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.


    "The Five is for the five virgins that were ten but only five of them were glorified.


    "The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth.


    "The Seven is for the day God rested after working the six days.


    "The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives, in which God saved the eight people from the flood that destroyed the earth for the first time.


    "The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy. He cleansed ten but nine never thanked Him.


    "The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone.


    "The Jack is a reminder of Satan. One of God's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell.


    "The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.


    "The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.


    "When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year.


    "There are a total of 52 cards in a deck, each is a week, 52 weeks in a year.


    "The four suits represents the four seasons:  Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.


    "Each suit has thirteen cards, there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.


    "So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for."


    The sergeant just stood there and after a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?"


    >-----Originator Unknown-----<


    Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line fighting for us.


    Send this on so that we can have a multitude praying for our people and our country.

    And in another email:


    When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire-building by George Bush. He answered by saying the following:


    "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have EVER asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."


    ...... It became very quiet in the room


    ~~~~~The silence here says alot! ~~~~~


          I tore my eyes & ears away from the war last evening (I usually do, when the programming is stuff worth watching ) to watch a movie with Julia Roberts & Campbell Scott. The title is "Dying Young," about a man in his 20s, battling leukemia & the ravages of chemo therapy.
         The young man, Victor (Campbell Scott), hires Hillary (Julia Roberts), because she is pretty, young & rebellious. His father, extremely wealthy, travels alot, even during this time of his son's serious illness. This portrays the unfortunate truths of most wealthy families, so caught in their own lives that those of their children become a burden 'best avoided.'
         Hillary goes with Victor for his chemo treatments. Returning from one, he becomes very ill & distraught, lashing out in his pain. Hillary asks what she can do for him & he tells her, "Nothing." He curls on the floor in his pain & she joins him there, placing her arms around his shoulders to comfort him.
          She faces his illness poorly, at one point crying on the phone that she doesn't know how to help him & doesn't feel that she is able to give him the help he needs. She is packing her bags as she is on the phone, about to run away from a situation she feels unable to face, as she has in others. He has her bedroom door cracked open, listening to her end of the conversation & later apologizes for not having told her what the chemo treatments would do to him. He had several over the past 10 years. This honesty helps Hillary decide to stay.
         In one very emotional moment, the young man, drained from chemo & the emotional turmoil of his lonely life, asks Julia if he could lay with her for the night (no sex). From that time on, their relationship changes from one of nursemaid & patient to one of companions & eventually lovers.
         For a while, their relationship is one of ecstasy while he is in remission. When he learns the cancer has returned, he becomes deceptive, hiding that fact from Hillary, as well as that he is using drugs to ease his pain.
         I don't believe this movie got a fair rating of only 2 stars by whatever system the DishNetwork uses. Both Scott & Roberts performed their roles with much enthusiasm, drawing in the audience.
         Patricia Neal, as Hillary's mom, carries her role with poise & grace, as typical of her performances in everything I have seen her in. My mom idolized her as a strong woman; one who had recovered almost completely from a stroke she suffered many years ago. It amazes me that as of 1991, when this movie was made, Neal was still going strong; still with the appearance of a powerful woman without additional aging.
         This movie is well written & performed. For one of the human factor of dealing with issues around a terminal illness in the prime of life, it is deserving of accolades that it apparently didn't receive. The only complaint I have of this movie is that when Roberts & Scott are in the most emotional scenes, his words are barely breathed out, unintelligible to someone with some hearing loss & other distracting noises around (in my case, the beeping from my son's room, where he's playing a video game, along with raindrops popping on my roof! I guess I should wear headphones the next time I watch it ). Otherwise, a movie well worth seeing.


  • Note: I wanted to post this hours ago, but my son had the phone tied up for most of the afternoon & all evening. Short of me unplugging his line & screaming at him (which I easily could have, because of the news I just got, but really don't want to do), I can't get him to listen right now. Even though I told him I had phone calls I needed to make when I returned from the mailbox, he continued to play an online Game Cube RPG. I tried to make the calls on my cell phone, but by then, it was too late. How does a parent get a thick-headed kid to listen anyway?

     

         My heartfelt blessings go out to US Army Pfc Jessica Lynch of the 507th Maintenance Co. She was recovered through a Special Forces mission, as a POW of the Iraqi when her supply caravan was ambushed. She will be going through 'de-briefing' by the military, which can be just about as emotionally devastating as what a suspected criminal goes through during an interrogation.

         Any victim of violent crime can understand what I am saying above. I personally sat in a detective's office for 8 hours, after being released by Andrews AFB ER for injuries sustained to my face in a beating by an assailant in a home invasion. I had only had about an hour's sleep before the incident & was not permitted to sleep for that entire next day. I was also not permitted privacy, except in the toilet. Why do they do this to victims of violent crime? I asked! Answer... "We need you to be able to remember as much & as detailed as you can about the events. With the passing of time, those details can disappear or become blurred..." a natural process of the psyche protecting the individual from the emotional pain. For me, those details have only begun to blur in recent years, even though that happened to me almost 17 years ago.

         The worst thing about my questioning during those 8 hours was that the detective alluded to the possibility that the assault was from my ex-boyfriend (my son's dad) in a domestic dispute. What I was telling him about that had happened to me was at first disbelieved... in other words, he thought I was lying!

         What Jessica will go through will be much worse than what I dealt with when questioned. They will want details of everything she told her captors, to determine if she divulged information she shouldn't have, with or without undue influence.

         In the service, we are trained that if we are captured, we should only tell them our name, rank & serial number (SSN since about 1980). They warn us that if we 'chat' with our captors about our lifestyles or family, those things will be used against us by the captors. Most servicemembers like to carry a picture of family members in their wallets. An enemy captor can use that picture to emotionally torture the prisoner, threatening death to the family, etc. Most of the torture a POW experiences is emotional. In these days of the 'Information Super-Highway' (WWW), it would take captors very little time to track down personal information about the prisoner to use against that prisoner. I could paint a specific scenario, but I won't, out of deference to Jessica & all other POWs, former & current.

         Another tactic of captors is the torture of depravation. This could be by limiting food to water & bread, which lacks enough protein to keep the person 100% healthy. Also used is sleep-depravation, which causes the mind to lose its capacity to function with complete clarity, opening the door to 'brain-washing' effects & confusion.

         I once had the opportunity to listen to a talk (I refuse to call it a speech, since it was so personal) given by LtC Coffee, a former Vietnam POW. He was held for over a year. He told us that there were a few things that kept him going, even though he dealt with poor health from malnutrition & poor sanitation. To supplement what the captors fed him (along with the other prisoners they held), he caught & ate the cockroaches that entered his cell. I don't recall if he mentioned about any rats becoming fodder, but if one entered his cell, I'm sure it would have.

         Coffee exercised daily to keep his muscles from atrophying. He was permitted an English-language Bible, which he read daily, although there was no other printed matter allowed in. LtC Coffee had been an avid golfer prior to his capture, so another focus of his, to keep his mind from succumbing to the emotional anguish of imprisonment was to practice his golf swing in his mind. He was a mediocre golfer prior to capture, but the first time he played once he regained his freedom, his swing had become so good that his handicap dropped to nearly nothing (from a high handicap)! He also focused on family... memories of pleasant events.

         As the saying goes... "Anything that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger." Jessica... God Bless You!!! I had almost two hours of physical & emotional torture during my home invasion, with about 4 more emotionally torturous hours in ER & 8 more in the detective's office. I empathize with you & the others! White Light & Blessings to you!

         Tonight, I am dealing with strong, warring feelings. That of 'fight or flight' & total despondency. I'm on a fence of two sides, neither one any good. After 7 years of honorably serving this country in the US Navy & dealing with severe emotional trauma sustained during that time (one aspect mentioned above), I am being denied, after nearly 2 years of waiting, an increase in my disability rating, based upon  a single entry by my VA shrink from 2 years ago, as well as my own neglect of submitting the details of a radiation exposure I suffered aboard a nuclear submarine. Although the latter is my fault, I clearly have an issue with the VA Disability Adjudication office dismissing my entire mental health record by the same physician based upon a single entry, dated prior to my cancer diagnosis. They also dismissed his report submitted to them upon THEIR request after my filing!

         I don't like either side of the fence, but right now, I don't know where to turn. This was a major hope to lift me (& my son) out of the dismal realities of poverty... a hope for something better for my son. As always happens to me, I find out this stuff AFTER it's too late to call any office in question (4 PM, when they closed) & every personal contact I've tried is unavailable. So, I sit here, crying, downing beers to keep me from going off the deep-end. Aloha...

  • $110 BILLION & Counting! Shrub is going back to Congress to request MORE funding. Expected cost now upwards of $550 BILLION!!! (YOU are paying for this... the Shrubs & cohorts are profiting from it!)


    The roads our tanks are using have been widened for this assault, PRIOR TO our invasion, by OUR people?! (How could this happen, well within the borders of Iraq, without Iraq knowing what was going on?)


    We've had engineers & intelligence personnel inside of Iraq for at least 1.5 YEARS! (Hell... they've been there since before the original Persian Gulf War. Also, it is being said that some of the UN weapons inspectors were plants... intelligence specialists, scoping out tidbits for this current incursion.)


    There are already contractors inside Iraq's southern oil fields that we have already 'secured' to assess the damage & necessary repairs. They've found booby traps, along with the 9 oil well fires. (How'd they get there so fast? Who's paying for them? Don't US government contracts go out for bids? This means that this incursion against Iraq was planned YEARS ago, & Shrub would NOT back down, no matter what the Iraqis, particularly Saddam & sons, would have done.)


    These statements have been made this AM by our journalists, from within Iraq, along with those here at home. Please note that I don't have quote marks around them, because I am paraphrasing.


    The evidence of the unjustness of this war is evident... just LISTEN! 'It isn't about the oil'... YEAH, RIGHT!!! Guess what people? It won't end within Iraq!! I warrant that the invasions will continue on throughout the Middle East (& elsewhere).


    The Kurds in Northern Iraq are our allies. THEY received 75% of the Humanitarian Aid (Oil for Food program), even though their population is less than 10% of Iraq. THIS is why Saddam's people were not getting the food & medicine promised by the UN, resulting in the reported deaths of 1,500 children per week, over 12 years.


    The US & UK administrations are greedy, self-serving bullies!

  • BROADWAY JAMMED



           Tens of thousands of people marched down Broadway in New York on Saturday in a demonstration that extended from Herald Square to Washington Square Park.
           Crowd estimates varied. New York City police officials put the number of demonstrators at 120,000, but demonstration organizers claimed 200,000.
           Sixteen New York City police officers suffered minor injuries in Saturday’s demonstration after they were sprayed with an unknown substance, possibly Mace. About 90 demonstrators were arrested when they refused orders to disperse.
           
    “We all want peace,” read one of the signs in the crowd, which included singer Patti Smith and actors Roy Scheider, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, a Korean war veteran, said joining the march was not a rejection of patriotism.
           “We support the troops, but we do not support the president,” Rangel said.


         Bravo NYC & US Congressman Rangel!

  •      Watching the reporters, donning & removing gas masks, is almost funny. As anyone trained in the possibility of chemical or biological weapons use knows, this does NOTHING to protect an individual on its own. Without being covered from head to toe by air-tight materials, whatever one is exposed to has a way to enter the body. The only thing that they are protecting by using these gas masks are their eyes & lungs.

         In the case of mustard gas dispersal, the flesh blisters upon contact. It is a highly caustic agent. Anthrax doesn't have to enter the lungs to make an individual very ill. If this bacteria enters the lungs, it just means a very high probability of death. Exposure to sarin gas also effects one through exposed skin. This is a nerve agent that can enter the bloodstream through pores in the skin, as do most other nerve agents commonly referred to as 'weapons of mass destruction' (WMD), developed (& initially tested) primarily in the US.

         (How do you think Saddam acquired these bio/chemical agents anyway, as well as much of his armament? From the US for the most part, prior to the first Persian Gulf War, as OUR ally, OUR puppet leader!)

         It actually saddens me that people believe they are safe if exposed to these agents simply by wearing those gas masks. Do you ever think about the images of Haz-Mat clean-up crews, so enveloped by their protective suits that they are barely recognizable as humans? Do you suppose they wear such suffocatingly hot & cumbersome gear when they aren't necessary? FOOL! Hmmm... Who's profiting from the sales of these gas masks anyway?

         Here's an interesting editorial:  http://www.msnbc.com/news/888673.asp?0dm=N24JN. It has to do with what I am now choosing to call 'The Shrub Regime.'

         Hey, people... has it finally sunk in yet that this war IS about the oil? Or are you the only ones in this world not smart enough to see that, when everyone else does?

         No justice for death by 'friendly fire' in Afghanistan last year? My sympathies, Canada.  http://www.msnbc.com/news/888209.asp?0dm=N215N

         War against Iraq violates UN Charter:  http://www.msnbc.com/news/887480.asp

         Again... to those who have lost someone dear to them in this unjustified war, I send White Light & Blessings!

         I DO support the troops involved, who are under direct orders. They are people doing what they were told to, believing that they are serving their countries by doing so. I do NOT support the President & am no longer in the military, so, by the oath I swore to upon my activation into military service & my subsequent Honorable Discharge years later, I no longer have to. Those in service to our country today DO!

  •       It is my firm belief that this war with Iraq is totally unjustified. WE are responsible for the sanctions imposed upon that country, with the aid of the UN. These sanctions have cost the lives of thousands of children, as well as adults, through withholding food, medicines & clean water processing to the peoples of that country.

         Once the 'all clear' is given for our troops to advance into the capital city of Baghdad, we will put our own people, or our hand-picked representatives, in control (under our domination, as in 'puppet leaders') over the Iraqi people. Just how is this freeing the Iraqi people of tyranny? All it will do is change who the people have to answer to... the US & UK.

         Our invading troops have already replaced an Iraqi flag with a US flag on a building overpowered in an earlier attack. Supposedly, this was in violation of what the Pentagon had set in place for these events of war. I do NOT believe that flag swap was an error. I DO believe it was intentional.

         The Pentagon also states that this war is not a 'take-over' of the country of Iraq. However, everything I see happening & what the officials say will take place upon the completion of the attacks, indicates otherwise.

         Take for example the stated intent of placing the monies from the Iraqi oil into a trust for the Iraqi people, under control of the UN. It is said that this money would only be used to pay for food, medicines & construction rebuilding for the Iraqi people. Just who will receive that money for those things? The US!!!! The same people with vested stock interests in the production of the military armament used in these attacks, who also have major stock holdings in many pharmaceutical companies & possibly several major food manufactures here & construction endeavors.

         Here's another thing to think about... something that I noticed which just isn't on the level of common sense when anticipating a serious attack against one's capital city. Throughout the actions in Europe during WWII, when attacks were anticipated, 'black-outs' were issued. This meant that electric lighting was banned, windows were covered with dark paper to prevent the escape of illumination from such as candles & kerosene lamps. Yet, the entire town of Baghdad was lit up the entire time since the end of the 'granted' 48 hours by Shrub! Every building that was concidered a prime target for our assaults was as well lit as our Washington historical buildings, which include the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Building & even the White House (our version of a palace, just carrying a different title, based upon being 'politically correct,' or as I see it, 'Newspeak' as in the novel Brave New World
    by Aldous Huxley). Does it make sense to leave the lights on in & around prime target buildings if you DON'T want them blown up? I don't think so!!! We've also intentionally avoided hitting their power plants, unlike in the original Gulf War. Why?

         I compare the two sides of this current aggression as likened to The Mouse that Roared: A Novel by Leonard Wibberley, also a movie in the same name which starred Peter Sellers. We paint such a glorious image (or lie) of our intent & actions through the use of Newspeak, masking the general, unenlightened public from the realities behind such words & actions!

         As the casualties numbers increase, on both sides of this war, I pray for their souls & the families & loved ones they leave behind. Pray for true peace!

     "Sanctions have an impact on all of us"
     
         
      The following comments are excerpted from a speech delivered on Capitol Hill on October 6th by Dennis Halliday, former United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq, shortly after he resigned his post in protest over sanctions' devastating impact on the Iraqi people.


    "The impact of UN sanctions on Iraq takes many forms. We've focused on the appalling figures related to malnutrition in general and the death of children in particular, but there are other implications which are of consequence for today in Iraq and tomorrow in the long term, both for that region and possibly for the rest of the world.


    Concerned international organizations have correctly focused on the plight of Iraq's 23 million people, particularly its children. After eight years of sanctions, high levels of malnutrition and child morbidity and mortality continue. These victims are innocent civilians who had no part whatsoever in the decisions which led to the events that brought on United Nations sanctions in the first place.


    The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed to me only ten days ago that the monthly rate of sanctions-related child mortality for children under five years of age is from five to six thousand per month. They believe this is an underestimate, since in rural parts of Iraq children are not registered at birth, and if they die within six weeks of birth, they are never registered.


    There are many reasons for these tragic and unnecessary deaths, including the poor health of mothers, the breakdown of health services, the poor nutritional intake of both adults and young children and the high incidence of water-born diseases as a result of the collapse of Iraq's water and sanitation system--and, of course, the lack of electric power to drive that system, both crippled by war damage following the 1991 Gulf War.


    Many people have questioned the propriety of sustaining Security Council sanctions in the full knowledge of their devastating impact on the children of Iraq. Human rights violations in Iraq greatly trouble many of us. We see a tragic incompatibility between sanctions which are harming innocent children and people of Iraq and the United Nations charter, specifically the convention on human rights and the rights of the child. The incompatibility with the spirit and letter of the charter constitutes a tragedy for the United Nations itself, and severely threatens to undermine the UN's credibility and legitimacy as a benign force for peace and human well-being throughout the world.


    The first significant response to the human cost of sustaining the sanctions was the report of the Secretary General of February 1, 1998, in which Kofi Annan proposed increasing gross expenditures to 5.2 billion dollars per six months, which would have allowed us not only to purchase more food, but to enhance the food basket with animal proteins, minerals and vitamins, all of which are currently absent, and, in addition, to mount a multi-sectoral approach to malnutrition, which was heretofore not viable under 986. [We would have been able to invest] in the totality of needs?by putting real money into the health sector for preventative care, and making massive investments in water and sanitation systems, enabling the people of Iraq to have access once again to potable water.


    This dream of an enhanced program died almost immediately due to the collapse of oil prices. That's clearly beyond the control of the United Nations, and now we're left with a program which [only] marginally improves the UNSC Resolution 986 program, but allows the government to put some whole cream milk and cheese into the food basket beginning next month. It's moving in the right direction--it's just moving too slowly.


    I would like to address the immediate and long-term social consequences of sanctions. It's not generally reported, but sanctions have had a serious impact on the Iraqi extended family system. We're seeing an increase in single-parent families, usually mothers struggling alone. There's an increase in divorce. Many families have had to sell their homes, furniture and other possessions to put food on the table, resulting in homelessness. Many young people are resorting to prostitution.


    The social impact of eight years of sanctions have devastated standards of traditional behavior, evidenced by the collapse of Islamic family values. Sanctions have undermined the children and parents' mutual expectations of each other. Sanctions have forced the Iraqi people to live with humiliation. Again, the children are the hardest hit. Now they are forced to work to bring money into the family. There's a school drop-out rate of some 20 to 30 percent. Children are now committing street crime, which was previously unheard of in Baghdad. The incidence of begging is now very common. The drop-out rate will lead to higher levels of illiteracy in a country formerly renowned for maintaining a high standard of education.


    In general, there's a sense of hopelessness and depression. I recently met with trade union leaders who asked me why the United Nations does not simply bomb the Iraqi people, and do it efficiently, rather than extending sanctions which kill Iraqis incrementally over a long period.


    In summary, sanctions continue to malnourish and kill. Sanctions are undermining the cultural and educational recovery of Iraq, and will not change its system of governance. Sanctions encourage isolation, alienation and fanaticism. Sanctions destroy the family, undermining women's social and economic advances and encouraging a brain-drain. Sanctions constitute a serious breach of the United Nations charter on human rights and children's rights. Sanctions are a counter-productive, bankrupt concept that has led to unacceptable human suffering. And sanctions have an impact on all of us--not those only in Iraq, but those of us outside who need to work with and look forward to Iraq's re-entry into the international community. I thank you very much, Congressmen."


    Transcript courtesy of the Middle East Research and Information Project (www.merip.org)


         This was told to our Congress more than 4 years ago, yet our Administration still believes these current actions are justified? WE are as responsible for the deaths of these children by our apathy as anyone. For those who state that the sanctions are justified & that it is Saddam, withholding the few things that are exchanged for Iraqi oil, who is responsible for these children's deaths... SHAME ON YOU!


         Our own country's poverty figures stand at one child out of six living with poverty. How can we justify the $billions... or $trillions we are spending to invoke further destruction on this tiny country? I cannot.


         Shrub has said that the Iraqi oil belongs to the Iraqi people. It certainly does. Yet, they are saying that this oil money will be held in trust to the Iraqi people by the UN, to only be spent on food, medicine & rebuilding the devastation WE are creating in that country. Tell me, just WHO is going to receive that money from the purchase of the food & medicines, as well as the construction projects? I'll answer that... THE US!!! And this war wasn't about the oil? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!


    To the families of those 12 soldiers who have already lost their lives (helecopter crash) in this unjustified war... White Light Blessings sent your way. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

  •      The next time you open your mouth to say, or poise your fingers to type, that this impending attack by the US (& the UK) is justified, because "Something has to be done," this is what I would like for you to think about:



    • YOU are a pilot in a bombing mission against the Middle East


    • It is YOUR thumb or finger poised over the missile launch button


    • Of the population in the target region, over 50% are children under the age of 18


    • It is YOU who will have to live with the nightmares of knowing that you murdered thousands of civilians, especially those children, because our Commander-in-Chief has NO conscience since HE isn't committing the actual act of murder, YOU ARE


    • Your single mission will escalate into world-wide uprisings, including those presumed terrorist attacks that Shrub is so fearful of without the removal of Saddam from power, along with the potential of so many other countries rising up against our presumption of righteousness

    Can you still push that button? I couldn't. If you have any morality & conscience, you wouldn't, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! If you could commit this terrible act, I pity you for the darkness you will bring upon yourself!

     

    Blessings of White Light & Love to the world in these terrible times.

    we're tryin' and we're hopin'
    but we're not sure how...


    ah, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
    with such love and intensity
    why it's ah, it's almost as
    if you could only crack the code
    then you'd finally understand what this all means


    ah, but if you could...do you think you would
    trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
    ah, but then you'd miss
    the beauty of the light upon this earth
    and the sweetness of the leaving


    calling all angels calling all angels
    walk me through this one
    don't leave me alone
    calling all angels calling all angels
    we're tryin' and we're hopin'
    but we're not sure...


    calling all angels calling all angels
    walk me through this one
    don't leave me alone
    calling all angels calling all angels
    we're tryin' we're hopin'
    we're hurtin' we're lovin'
    we're cryin' we're callin'
    cause we're not sure how this goes
