An hour later, a handful of military vehicles returned, one carrying the U.S.-backed regional governor Hussein al-Jaburi, while a recording of his voice boomed a warning to would-be Saddam loyalists.

"Any demonstration against the government or coalition forces will be fired upon," Jaburi's voice said, according to an army interpreter. "This is a fair warning."

Yeah. We're really good at 'freeing' people, aren't we?

There was a political cartoon in a local paper the other day that had a muslim running for a ballot box whilst Bush chased him down in a jeep trying to stop him from voting.

I hate seeing my country abrogate its principles so thoroughly. Not that we ever maintain them these days.

I doubt there going to change anyones minds, but our stopping them might

Actually, I've always seen that as:

"Those who would trade freedom for security will lose both, and deserve neither." -- Ben Franklin.

I keep it, and others like it in my sig for a very good reason. ;)

The problem with that website is that the people are very good at identifying the problem and then coming up with the worst possible solution for it :) It's so tragic that it's almost funny.

They piss me off too. Especially since most of them stop being hippies and then become the problem they spent so long complaining about.
