What's the old saying about those who sow the wind, doesn't it say something about they shall reap the whirlwind? Not saying anything about the weather, just that those houses we bombed and killed the occupants had neighbors that I'm sure didn't care for our forceful way of bringing the blessings of democracy.
The earth quakes in China must not have happened yet when you posted. Then there's the country formerly known as Burma. But this was a very good post Vig. Maybe the earth is getting itslf ready to shake us all off, before We Drop the Big One And See What Happens.
WTF, Salvage??? Vigilante is only interested in blaming Bush for stuff. He didn't include Burma and China because he can't blame Bush for them. Don't you get anything?
Hey, (g)asshole: when you can create a real blog, maybe someone will take you seriously. We all know where the blame lies, except those of you in denial because being a free, thinking individual scares the hell out of you.
Vig, K's talking to you. She's pretty huffy that we won't give her girl the creds. she deserves for her HUGE WIN in West Virginia. So I will probably write a post that will finally give K a stroke or piss her off enough that she will give up on me. Anyway, some respond to her, if you have a moment.
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who loves his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
Reverend G R Gleig, survived the First Anglo-Afghan War to write in 1843:
...a war begun for no wise purpose, carried on with a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, has Britain acquired with this war. Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated.
