News is Bad News: Depressing Headline of the Day
Feeling pessimistic this morning......
_______________________________
Turning and turning
Within the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart
The center cannot hold
And a blood dimmed tide
Is loosed upon the world
Nothing is sacred
The ceremony sinks
Innocence is drowned
In anarchy
The best lack conviction
Given some time to think
And the worst are full of passion
Without mercy
Joni Mitchell (paraphrase/reworking of Yeats)

The saddest thing is they think they are doing something positive.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

"A Taleban spokesman in Afghanistan says the group has killed one of 23 South Korean hostages it is holding."
"The hostages - most of them women - are members of a Christian aid group."

What more can we expect from people who will indescriminately slaughter their own men, women and children in the name of their cause?
I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.

I hope they get to meet the ROK army. They are lighting a match that can burst into a very out of control fire in a short length of time.
If only you knew what's inside of me now,
You wouldn't want to know me, somehow.

I wish we could just let the Armed Forces do their real job,Which is to come home.
I could care less if those warped ba$turds in Iraq get freedom,
or not.
I am just so sorry we have another Viet Nam war going on by a SOB as
stupid as Lyndon Johnson was.Hell he may be dumber.
Lest we forget.

Ah yes we are the mighty taliban.
Wait while we pluck up our courage and take a bunch of Christian women hostage and a Pastor.
Hang on a minute were feeling bold enough to kill the pastor.
Surely everyone should give in to our demands because were so dam kewl right?

If China would provide 200,000 plus troops, Afghanistan, and Iraq would be cleaned up right quick. Iran would piss themselves, and jump in line too.

In one of the rare times I agree with Bush, the proposed arms sales in the Middle East are a good idea. We need to support our allies, even if their internal politics might not be very palatable. For the most part, the equipment we are offering could have been purchased elsewhere, and that would have just cost us good will and influence.
Russia and China haven't been reluctant to sell military technology to Iran, and it is past time that we did the same for states that oppose Iranian *****ions. It's an imperfect solution, but we just have to deal with the world as it is, and not how we wish it were.

"The women were travelling to Kabul from the eastern city of Gardez when they were attacked by five gunmen armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles at about 11:30 a.m. local time, Khan said. Another Afghan worker with the organization, travelling in a second vehicle, was critically wounded, the International Rescue Committee said in a statement.
'They were working on education and children's programs. They were there unarmed, impartial [and] non-political. We are absolutely outraged,' Michael Kocher, vice-president of the aid organization's international programs, told CBC News from New York.
The Taliban said it was responsible for the attack."
