    And growing stronger.

    No I’m not that daft to think that in war it’s just having tea and biscuits, but I do think it’s ridiculous that a nation such as America be so stupid to get into this mess in the first place. And that the people do absolutely nothing to stop it. What should they do? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t stand by and watch while major mistakes were being made by my country’s leader. Bush is quite something. I have a lot of descriptive words for him, but none are strong enough to express what I really feel.

    The fact that there is a strong pressure to send in fresh blood to be able to maintain some sort of order, must tell you that it’s getting worse and not better. I believe it’s because of lousy strategy. Had you had a strong strategy and good back-up solutions, deadlines of when this war would end, I’d say you’d have half a chance. Going into unknown territory with a culture you know nothing about is more than enough reason to go in really well prepared. Not to forget having some friendly natives on your side to show you the ropes.
    Now, it’s come down to being just plain stupid and downright cruel by sending recall letters to already dead soldiers, actually higher ranking officials. Just because you need more officers, the “new blood” and are so intent on having them there is a poor excuse not to check your database and be a little more sensitive when it comes to you own soldiers.

    Can you imagine for just one second being the son, daughter or wife of a lieutenant and recieving such a letter?
    Terrorism, I agree must be dealt with harshly. But not stupidly. I know that there are experts on the middle east (and other areas of the world that are being so inhumanely attacked), giving their insight and expertice, but who’s got some sensible tactics, hidden sources, and most importantly what happened to the great strategists?
    You cannot just go into a country like Iraq blindly. The terrorists that are bred there are not your average “run of the mill” militia. There are also real people that are citizens, plain farmers. Being kind I won’t include a link to this.
    Look at what you’re doing again Bush. Rethink your strategy, and good luck with your war against terrorism.

    I come from a country that experiences it daily, and that’s been fighting it for a long time. Israel. This country has also unfortunately become used to war. I won’t include a link of their faces.

    I’m sure we can all win with good strategy, great spirit, and above all great leaders..of which I’m sorry to say at this moment are too few and far between.

    Briefly, in all wars there all innocent people that get hurt, killed, injured by the facts of war for life. But, is there any way that we can change that?

    Poop! Politics

    December 9th, 2006 by magic

    Clear politicsAs you can see by the title I’m not a big fan of politics, but I was browsing around and randomly clicked on my Yoono scrollbar and something caught my eye. The title itself is like an invitation to open Pandora ’s Box: Open secrets, the name was so delicious and intriguing so I clicked to see. Here you go dear Americans; you can see where your money contributions go. Some of it. If this page leaves you desiring more facts, go to FactCheck.org. I’m amazed at the amount of money the republicans are receiving by the way. The companies seem to really like Bush and the Republicans. Do they? There are polls, (which I call popularity contests) but how do you really know? People vote for a variety of reasons, all of which in the end amount to a hope that someone in a governing position will listen and better their lives. That’s what they do when they go out campaigning. The politicians go out there and listen to you squabble about your taxes, health insurance, jobs, education, and so on and they babble about a better future, more jobs, better health care, yadiyadiya….

    This is my primitive deduction: whoever squabbles louder and more articulately and not to forget has money gets heard. They also get first place. The not so loud squabbling people get second place, and don’t get the babble they were promised from the second place political party. And third place has been forgotten in this squabbling race.

    So where does that leave us?

    In the POOP.

    Fundamental change comes through strong political leaders. No they’re not around these days, but those great men that really knew how to run a country, at times whole empires, they’ve set enough examples for this eras squabblers to follow. Cesar with his ups and downs almost ruled the entire world; Napoleon who was little in stature had quite some balls doing the things he did. Churchill was known as a bulldog, gee I wonder why!!! Don’t even get me started on Kennedy. It seems as though all the great men with dreams of unity: Martin Luther King, or those: Kennedy, whose real policies they want to have implemented for the greater good get assassinated.

    That’s all for today USA.Tomorrow we’ll have a little chat about Israel, now that should be fun!
