Visiting The Thoughts Of Yet One More Person

Dancing In The Dark

Still so angry about something that happened at work last week to think clearly enough to write. Will sit down and type out those feelings soon so I can move on into summer with a clear head.

Woke up this morning to get even angrier. With Mr Bush constantly saying out loud that things are "better off in Iraq" without Hussein I wake up every morning with just the opposite truth being printed and broadcast. There's been many many cases of Americans murdering the patriots in Iraq, and the movement to murder any man, woman, or child who dares to carry a weapon has been obvious to all observers since the beginning of these atrocities. However, never has is been as blatant as this mornings headline, which have me in an uproar again:
 
Iraq to launch huge Baghdad raids

More than 40,000 Iraqi soldiers are to be deployed in Baghdad in a massive operation to hunt down insurgents, the Iraqi defence minister has announced.

Using the word "insurgent" is the propaganda tool our government has used, but in Iraqui history - when this mess is over - those that are defending their culture against the attackers will be known as patriots, just as George Washington is called a patriot today in our history. We never remeber our own history, and the fact that to the British, George Washington and his troops were called "insurgents".  It saddens me the way the press is siding so easily with the attackers of a defenseless nation.

Gotta get off to work - had to get this off my chest so I wouldn't blow up needlessly at someone today.

Held Without Charge

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4581383.stm

What's sad about these truths, despite the painful understanding we have of our country treating humans as people with absolutely no inalienable rights - something far far beyond our call as a nation - is the fact that if anyone else performed these violations, the press would force them out of office. Can you even imagine Clinton holding a prisoner without charge for even 24 hours? It takes no imagination to know that the press in our country is in collusion with the evil being perpetrated on the world in the name of the citizens of the United States of America.
