Chillin' Listening to Guns n' Roses - Use Your Illusion II, and Civil War just popped into my iTunes flow of consciousness.
"My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars"
It's time to bring this lousy war in Iraq to an end, declare victory and go home. Hell, if Nazrullah can say it in Lebanon, we can.
We "deposed" another dictator and screwed up the peace again. Time to go home and think about what we really want.
A lot more people in Iraq are going to die whether we stay or go. We've seen to that. At this point, without genocide on our part, the people of Iraq are going to keep dying. Best that we go home, apologize to everyone, and take our licks. The people of Iraq will damn us to hell in either case.
I know what the smirking chimp and Lord Darth Cheney will be thinking today. "Iran is funding the insurgents in Iraq, so if we blow the hell out of Iran, we can secure Iraq."
How many people here think that yes, Iran is probably funding some of the insurgents (and I use that term with some feeling of trepidation), but have this horrible feeling that blowing up Iran isn't going to do anything but make things worse? Heaven knows we don't have the troops to actually occupy Iran, and taking out the government there will probably bring something else, worse, to birth.
Anyway, that's my short diary for the day. It's October, and I have a feeling of ... waiting for a surprise... Something wicked this way comes.
Hey George (the President), just in case yer thinkin' that I'm just another pansy liberal commie pinko faggot like the rest of the generals, politicians, citizens and professionals that want to "cut and run" as you say... I'm proud to stand with the people that are speaking truth to your "power". I'm gay, but not like your repressed psychotic closeted Republican political hacks. I'm not one of your whimpering "pets".

I got a thought that would be nice
I'd like to crush your head tight in my vice
