Naw, I'm referring to the arrogant and unjustified occupation of Iraq by the US, and the large numbers of innocent civilians being slaughter (beaten down/oppressed) so the US can control their natural resources.

I see many parallels to the industry.



I hope Garred is not witnessing or being forced to do this:"

Wow, what an opinion.  And the great thing about this country is you are intitled to it! I just don't share it with you.

Carey, I hope your son is doing well.  My brother in law is in Iraq--he's with the 101st A.A., helping train the Iraqi Army.  He's in a group of officers and NCOs they detached to do training, so he's embedded with the Iraqis.  Probably not deployed anywhere near your son.  But hey, it's a small world, isn't it?

It has to suck for the people who don't have friends and family over there and so can't get the straight story from people they know.  I guess if I had to form an opinion based just on what the press reports, it would be pretty hard to sort out reality from spin.

Anyway, tell him to keep his head down and come home safe.

Oh, damn, I've collected my own personal troll.

Lord, but didn't I do a good job of pissing you off.  :rofl:

Too funny.

Pissing people off isn't my reason for being here, but it's a side effect that you can tell just really breaks my heart.

My touchstone for whether I feel sorry for a parent who got snookered is whether the parent mostly feels sorry they (however inadvertently) did that to their kid, or feels sorry for herself.

Pissed off?  Wah.
