Taking a break from verbage just now. I feel a bit diluted and need to regroup my feelings and opinions for later on.

He’s bad. In fact he’s absolutely awful
What drives the world’s worst novelist? Gene Weingarten found out.
Syria? Who is mad enough to go to Syria, terrorist central? Iraq was only a nest of vipers compared to these folks. And what exactly did happen to the Republican Guard? I also want to know what happened to all the prisoners left in their cells (if they were left…) what happened to them? And is it the US Marines who are running ths war? They seem to be everywhere bless them! I imagine right now they must feel as if they have been in Iraq forever. I heard talk of them being away for a year.
You wouldn’t know it but things are moving in the Israeli/Palestinian dispute. I read about a cabinet being formed and moves to get Hezbollah out of Lebanon which would mean a deal with…hey presto the Syrians….
On that nice circular piece ….

There really is no competition. So who do you choose from? The Iraqi Information Minister or Donald Rumsfeld? It appears both of them have a real problem with the truth. We can plainly see that there is looting going on; looting would go on in ANY country given half a chance. This is such a good time to see politicians at their deceptive best and is funny because it is so very unreal. The truth has gone out of the window yet again.
Is there any way I can adopt the Iraqi guy? I hope he is not on the Americans KOS list; it would be a loss to the world and fun and games in general. I like him. I don’t like Mr Rumsfeld. He’s really creepy.

You know I still can’t stop thinking about the UN. This is exactly one of those times that we could do with them. They can police Iraq; I know that’s what they have done before. Somebody needs to bring order out of chaos (hehehehe) so why not them? If the other three nations have so much at stake in the oil in this country surely now is the time to protect their investment? I am thinking of the Russians in particular. They could really steal some thunder out of this in being seen to be the ones who “sorted it out”.

In my ignorance I have to admit I didn’t think of the Iraqi’s the way I do now. I imagined them as peasants, workers or just Arabs… silly really. I have since found them to be quite educated, smartly turned out and actually quite wise.
If we in the UK had been more informed as to the state of the Iraqi’s, more aware of their plight under Saddam and the exiled Iraqi’s given more of a voice maybe the opposition in the world would have been drastically reduced.
I also think the first Gulf War was a shadow and a type of this war. Is now the time for a new world order? Certainly the state of the UN would precipitate a new way of governing. I have found that in the past we tend to swing from total liberalism to the jackboot.
The Arab world has said that this war is on a par with ‘48 and ‘67 (Israeli history guys,…) It is definitly not. Those coalition troops will be out faster than you can say knife… they have homes to go to you know =)
