How do I start with the good news? Anna Nicole Smith is still dead! She has been buried! And now we know who the kid’s daddy is–Please move the F*CK on.

People across the world are dying–from war, from starvation, from disease and the American people are worried about who the kid’s F*CKIN’ father is. How pathetic! Put this crap on E! but please remocve it from a news outlet–it is fluff not news!

I am pretty much over US news media, they are nothing but gossip columnists, not news journalists.

The big news of the day is who da baby’s daddy, and yet North Korea will shut down nuke program as soon as their money is unfroze. Now where should the emphasis be here? Something that could effect the entire world or that which effects a couple of a/holes? I guess I just cannot understand the fascination with bullshit.

Can the American people become any more shallow than they are now?

Things are not going well for the miliatry, what with Iraq and Afghanistan and any other conflict that Bush wishes to engage in . US Troops are being extended an extra 4 months, the National Guard units are being called and , the best one, is that troops with mental prblems are being sent back to the situation that caused their problems. Does any of this sound like a government that has things well in hand? Hell no!

A new type of draft has been suggested, but dismissed by the Bush Boyz. They say that there is no need that the US has the situation well in hand and the draft is not needed. OK, but az lot of people are not agreeing with the pres, many experts do not agree with the pres. If that is the case, Why no draft?

Anti-war is the answer! The movement is gaining momentum and that worries the pres and his handlers. He is desparate to have some success so that he can get out of his presidency with a minimum amount of damage. If a draft is ever reinstated for the US, the anit-war movemnent will be catapulted into mainstream, something Bush is deathly afraid of, for as it is now he can pretty lie his way out of just about anything, but that would change significantly if the draft is ever reinstated.

The US administration is tap dancing like a fool trying to find ways to avoid the reinstatement of the draft. The clock is ticking and Bush is running out of time for his lame policies that are a dismal failure.

Unless you have been in coma, you have heard about the capture of Brits and now their release. A happy ending.

A few points–their meeting with the press one Brit had to read his comments from a cue card, Why? It was only 13 day ordeal, and these guys and gal have to refresh their memories on what happened. Or another possibility is they are lying. A further plan to incite oiutrage over Iran’s actions and a justification.

Now, we say vids of them playing ping pong, eating, playing chess, yukking it up, not one looked as if they were being coerced. They ate not like a prisoner on limiter rations, but rather a casual meal. You would think that if things were not comfortable, they would try to send a message in the vid that would alert the world. I saw none!

Now the cash for story thing. I do ot know of any active military person that is allowed to cash in on experiences during active duty. This smells like a propaganda ploy. I will watch to see how similar the stories are; that will point to the truth.

IMO, what we have here is an attempt to continue building the case for action against Iran. It is coming, just a matter of time.

Update–The UK MofD has had second thoughts about allowing the troops to get cash for story. There has been a huge backlash.

Good Morning class. Take your seats and grab a pencil and paper–gonna be a test.

On the map locate the following countries:

Turkey/Iraq/Kuwait/Saudi Arabia/Afghanistan/Pakistan/Uzbekistan/Kyrygzistan/Persian Gulf

Now in red pencilo locate Iran.

What is the point? Take a look at Iran and then the countries listed. Does Iran look surrounded? The list of countries are countries with a military presence and yes, they are surrounded. If I were Iran I would be paranoid also.

For 2 weeks some Brits were held in Iran. They got out, are healthy and happy to be home. The same with fired attornies; this story will not go away.

What is my problem? There are almost countless injured vets that are being constantly crapped on by their government and yet all is quiet on the media front. The government thinks that its lame attempts to correct the problem will satisfy the people, well it will! Why because the media has assisting in the BS, they move from the Vets care to these fluff with happy endings or political implications. When their focus should be on the Vets and the attempts to placate a voting bloc.

Happy, happy, joy, joy–the Brits are home–too bad that the Iraqi war vets cannot find that much happiness in their situation. I cannot sit by and let this slide from everyone’s memory.

Americans are always talking about this group or that group and the injustice they suffer. PAY ATTENTION, Dipshits! There are Americans being systematically crapped on by the government and by YOU!

What Of The Children?

I recently did an analysis of the Middle East situation and in that piece I wrote that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians had become an institution; a tradition, if you will. And for that reason it was going to be difficult to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. Since the conflict has been continuously for the last 50+ years, the solution was going to have to be that of the Palestinians and the Israelis.

Now I would like to cover the same type of situation but in this I will be more concerned with that of the rearing of children. First, keep in mind that about two generations have lived with the conflict. Two generations have either grown up with refugee camp experiences or lived through wars and destruction in the Occupied Territories. Children playing have witnessed such things as homes destruction, airstrikes, dead bodies, blood and the smell of gunsmoke. These are powerful things for children to endure and it not to effect them.

On the other side of the conflict, Israeli children have witnessed suicide bombers and heard rockets results in the distance, not quite as emotionally powerful as what the Palestinian children endure. I mean the carcass of a rocket that hit in a field out of the village, is not quite as effective as a child watching as a piece of machinery destroys your home or the body of your older brother lying broken in the streets of your town.

After two generations have grown up with such vivid pictures burned into their minds, what would be their reaction be when they became old enough participate? Of course, they would want to do something that could improve their situation and that of all their people.

The Palestinian people have had no effective government in the past, so their thinking is if they did not do something, nothing would get done. Israel on the other hand, has had a government and the people have put their faith in the actions of that government. Of course, the world has , for two generations, looked the other way when it comes to the plight of the Palestinian people.

So with this said, the children have continue all the conflict as they have grown up. Their impressionable years were filled with death and destruction and as they grew older the death and destruction continues, so that when their children, who are witnessing the same circumstances, grow they continue the death and destruction, so when their children…………and the cycles continues.

The only way to achieve peace in the region, is to find a way to break the cycle of death and destruction. That is assuming that all players want the cycle to be broken. The only way to break a tradition or custom, is by starting with the children. Let them know there is a peaceful way to live; show them there is a peaceful way to live.

Now, the question is, do the players in this drama really want peace? If they truly do, then it is time to prove, remove the violence and allow children to play children’s games and not be witness to the obscenities of war.
