11. thanks for the

clarification -

the PR spin of "fewer" attacks and everything is ducky and wonderful and the reality of the nonstop escalation of violence and insecurity of war -

I am so exhausted by the neverending anxiety that has encompassed our country - the divisiveness that has been fomented by the radical right and the failure of the media to accurately report the truth - unvarnished and just as it is - without their "innuendos" and the sprinkling of buzzwords that subconsciencely prejudice the viewing audience.

3. More & more & more & more & more & more needless DEATH.

Caused by a malignant administration and its incompetent leader. How many Cheney kids are in the infantry? How many Bush children are in special forces? Is Private Wolfowitz walking point today? NO! They are killing OUR sons and daughters and brothers and sisters!

4. Ah, the UNSPECIFIED booby trap

Couldn't possibly have been a scrounged US anti-personnel device with a trip wire. Nah, that would be so Viet Nam...

8. Bu$h needs to thank the resistance. He said "Bring it On" and they obeyed

Edited on Fri Nov-21-03 10:33 AM by wildwww2

What a good leader of the opposition the court appointed one is. If I had a rival. I would sure hope he was as stupid as Bu$h. You can always do a better job acheiving your task when morons or "Morans" make it easier for you. I`m as not as worried about the neccessity of impeaching Bu$h as I am about getting our poor miss used troops out of the slaughter that is Iraq!

13. I wish that I believed in an afterlife

and an accounting for ones actions in this one, because if I did then I would know that this chimp* and all the puppet masters would be held to atone for themselves and the pain they've caused.
As it is though, I don't have a believe in an afterlife and that is why it bothers me so much everytime I read of another person losing their life.
Exterminated, by a callous disregard for the rest of humanity.
