I have been there and this poem spoke to me, first draft or not. Thanks.

You people really are clueless. Byron admits to not knowing about the Oil for Food scandal at the U.N. And Insanitor doesn't even know who Kofi Annan is. And yet both of them think they are experts on Iraq. Yeah, just keep drinking your beer boys.

Lizzytysh, You say I did not ask any questions. You are wrong. Here are the questions I asked. Here is an article from CNN. Not a right-wing news organization. I wonder. Do those who have said the Iraqi's should not be liberated have any comments to make? I know everyone has said that they do not li...

Paula,

Thank you for your post. I will not cut and paste anymore.

Tom, I will not apolgise to you or anyone else for what I have printed on this thread about New York Event. I said I was sorry for cutting and pasteing on the Hell-Bent Thread. But this is too much.

Yes, I was going to New York City. I had saved a third of the money necessary. But I don't think I will now. I only have eight posts, nine with this one. My posts on the hell-bent on war thread were not welcomed. Not because they were cut and paste but because the views in them were not acceptable t...

I took a look back and many have done the same thing (with very little comment of their own included). I look at my member profile and I have posted very few cut a...

Here is an article from CNN. Not a right-wing news organization. I wonder. Do those who have said the Iraqi's should not be liberated have any comments to make? I know everyone has said that they do not like Saddam, that he is evil. Here is certainly proof of that. But you have also said that he sho...

Here is another viewpoint... Old Europe, Old Ideologies: Anti-Americanism, Anti-Semitism and the Politics of Victimhood The countries of France and Germany -- that is, Old Europe, as so brilliantly described by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld -- are the centers of European anti-Americanism, ant...

Food for thought... Jessica took awful beating By OWEN MORITZ DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Pfc. Jessica Lynch was beaten more severely than first reports indicated, doctors said yesterday. Besides two broken legs and a broken arm, the 19-year-old Army truck driver suffered fractures to her right foot, ri...

Here's an interesting article. From the Guardian Why we should go to war Julie Burchill Guardian Saturday February 1, 2003 In the mode of Basil Fawlty, I've tried not to mention the war. I know that Guardian readers are massively opposed to any action against Saddam Hussein, as are 90% of the people...

I thought the name of his father, Pop Tart, was so funny. Many thanks for the bright spot of my day.
