Now I sense maybe Kerry will be allowed into the house so this Iraq and terrorist fiasko can be jumpstarted. I expect with Bush wining he will have to continue with the same approach, you just can't change Titanic's direction that quickly. But with Kerry there could be chance of wining both the short term battle of illigaly invading a nation and securing the ever illusive security of US, whatever that means. No one has yet been able to clearly describe what makes us safe here in US. And lets not start by saying stopping terrorist from exploding a bomb or some stupid thing like that. That can happend anytime, it could have happend before 9/11.

One more thing I noticed today. The wealthiest country in the world that always tries to show off its achievements is not ranking very high on medal counts in Paralympics games in Athens. Now this tells you how this country's priorities are managed. Also I have not seen a single mention of this event in any major media outlet anywhere.

Just another sign from above>>>>

I just read a funny article about US selling $319M worth of bombs to Israel because she is a friendly state, Ok I'll buy that, also because it will lead to stability and economic development in middle east. Now this is one hum dinger!!!! More and more I am becoming less optimistic about future of west when I read such crazy statement coming from the highest levels of the most powerful country on this planet.

When are they going to come out of the bubble and pay due respect to rest of the world..

I hope we see that day soon or I don't blame if anyone with some wit's about them want to arm themselves with all the weaponry they can have. When the superpower sees economic development in bigger and bunker busting bombs then what do you expect from less powerfull countries.


God save the imperial KING.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend last night. A republican with lot more reasoning, he said that what Bush has lacked since 9/11 is the compationate part of "compationate conservative". He was and is not so much now for the war in Iraq. He said the use of violence or terror should be used like "nudge" or "punch" before saying OK what is going on here and how can we fix the problem. He compared this method to the way he managed when working for a large company. If there was a problem with one of the sales regions of the company he would go there and find the most guilty party and would fire him. Then he would ask all the staff to get to gether and find out what went wrong and how the company and staff can improve the situation.

All this is find and dandy if the Bush and the boys intended to run a country (at least the foreign relation part) like democratic successfully company. But this duets are not that hommy!!!!!

If hi idea would be the case here, we would have about a year ago had said following issues MUST be put on the table and resolved to ensure security for all and not just North America:

1) Get Palestinian and Israel in a room and broker a real fix
2) Tell Saudies its time to go
3)Tell Egyptians that let the freedom ring
4)Stop supporting old thugs
5)Show that US is with poor Muslims and not their rulers


That would be the only way to neutralize a increasing numbers of radical Muslims. There are about 70% of them that are sick and tired of being marginelized and about 10% that are willing to do something.

Lets not shock and Awe them, instead gains the heart and minds by respecting them.

THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE, except endless war.

"Reading Lolita In Tehran" is on my agenda to read in the next few weeks.

Its middle of September and is time to think about Rio!!!!

It appears that GOP planners have made the decision for people that Bush will be in the white house for another 4 years. The scare mongers have made their case with people, it is in fact an easy task to win another term on nothing else but fear. This administration without 9/11 would have been done away with as early as first part of this year. Go figure, I say if he is elected in November then we have no one to blame but ourselves. After all we are free to choose the president, or are we when we are bound in vail of fear???

They have convinced most in believing that Bush will fight terror with much heavier and convencing terror then Kerry!!!! I think either way, Kerry or Bush, we are in for a long rough road ahead, nothing is going to come easy anymore. We no longer can sit on the other side of the pond and let others do our dirty work. So, friends pull your sleeves up and start doing some damage.

The idea that somehow this war is right just makes me want to laugh. Particularly coming from the right. The right is the party of the wind, that is, they will change without much notice.

Get the draft dodger out of the house, I say, or we are in for some hard ride. Even though I don't think we'll fair much better in most cases with the Vietnamie dude, at least with him we'll know where he is headed. Ask Bush supporters where this country will be ten years from now if Bush boy stays on, you'll get a blank stair. In most cases they are thinking rapture will occur before then so why bother thinking that far ahead!!!!Scary isn't it????

I like to have lunch with Nicole Kidman somewhere in southern California in late September. I promise not to talk to her about my views on Iraq invasion and how unnecessarily we have killed some 20,000 to 35,000 people. I instead will talk to her about softer side of this wacky world and try to always look into her eyes!!!! She is hot!!!

I will not want to see her after that date.......... Go figure.
