"President Bush speaks to the nation tonight..."-NPR Correspondent 4:35pm EST (unsurprisingly) it appears American and British declared war on Iraq is inevitable.
I just want to make it clear to the few people who visit this site. I don't support the war. I also do not condone torture, no matter what an individual's "potential as a ticking time bomb" or participation in mass terrorist attacks like September 11th. That's right Mr. President, if I were on the "evil side" (if there were such a thing) I wouldn't support your torture either, even though from the evil's perspective you are also a terrorist..
Side Rant: Also, if you are a CIA or NSA information crawler, yep here's another American that disagrees with our fearless leaders. first I'd like to welcome you to my new home, and I'm sure you'll find it easy to figure out where I live, since my web domain info contains that data (or does it) and I like to add that if you have time and the ability,(Mr. or Ms. CIA, FBI, NSA, or whomever) if you'd leave the statistics you've accumulated about websites that you've counted as anti-war (and hence anti-american by your conviction I imagine) on my comments section, I'd appreciate it. Tell your boss that you thought it was your duty to abide by the freedom of information act.
On a more realistic note, and I've taken the liberty of printing a pdf of this interesting find I came across on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Take a look here for the web page although I haven't a clue how long this page will stay up. But aren't all those conspiracy theories bs? So, we don't really have anything to be concerned about, or want to ask our government representatives what happened to those dates?
Or do we? I know I find it strange that the web pages for the later part of July 2001 through Sept. 12th 2001 are simply not there. I'm gonna e-mail the Internet Archive and ask them about it. Find out where they went? What do you think? Please post your comments. I'm curious to see if anyone has a plausible explanation, or even better it would be nice just to hear your comments or concerns about this and other actions of our fearless leaders.
Well, for now I'm gonna unplug. I'm getting too pissed to think clearly. The talk on NPR has been nothing but war related and speculation about what the US will do to "impose democracy", the impact on oil production, the leadership styles of the military, etc. So, much for a free press, I suppose there is nothing else important going on in the world. Oh, except the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) across the world. Check out this map.
Of course some of us (on this planet), it seems, don't even know any of this is going on. And perhaps they are happy and gay, or at least less serious than I. Perhaps they are content, exploring their own personal flatland or perhaps they're not, and perhaps they have something to say also. But who will listen. Will you? Will I? How will we know?
Here ends, what feels like another scream in the dark. Kind of like when I write our representatives and our President.
Back in the "out of my head world", the cat says meow, the birds say tweet, and spring says good evening. Good evening.
Well I hope this works, I am not the computer wiz in this family for sure! Nor am I the writter so understand that up front.
I watched our fearless leader give his speach this evening and I will tell you the truth it made me cry. Yes I sat in my nice safe comfy livingroom and cried like a baby watching that. I remember very well 9/11 and the days that followed. I remember the people walking the streets of New York with the pictures of there family and friends asking if anyone had seen them. I remember watching them take bodies out of the rubble and the numbers go up. I have not forgotten what that felt like and that is why I cried. Now there will be family members lost and dug out of rubble and the numbers will go up. There will be children with out mothers and fathers there will be brothers, sisters, friends and neighbors dead and gone for ever! The diffrence will be everyone will know WHO DID IT. That part will be diffrent then 9/11.
This time these people know it is coming and they will know who did it when they have there funerals. But that is about the only diffrence I see in what happened here and what we are fixing to do. To think of the lives that will be lost for a reason I cannot figure out.
I have no idea why we think this needs to be done and trust me I have tried to understad. I know this is a bad guy and he has do bad things but, why now? What is diffrent today then 10 years ago or 8 years ago even 2 years ago?
Well you have my comments for what ever they are worth.
See Wayne I have been checking out your site.
Jeannie, I think you said everything that I tried..better.
