skippy the bush kangaroo - a moment for those fallen in battle - please take a moment to think of those who had died fighting for this country. take a moment to think of those who, unless a miracle of miracle happens, will die on the sands of iraq at the politician's behest.
now, in honor of armistice day, we bring you some views on invading iraq by the men and women who have actually served in our armed forces

Silent Running - My New-Found Conservatism - They don't care about fossil-fuel depletion, the ozone layer, Third World debt or World Bank lending policies. They're not interested in you boosting foreign aid, voting Green, or visualising world peace. They want you do do one of two things.

2) Die.

Jimspot - Politics - That is a right that has been won through bloodshed on battlefields and secured through the hard work of many non-warring patriots.

Clubbeaux - Maybe I Should've Gotten Sports Illustrated Instead - And is it Republican's fault if Democrats insist on pouring their money in unwinnable races in Florida and Texas just to tweak George Bush's nose? Take the millions and millions of dollars Democrats wasted on Sisyphean quests in Florida and Texas, spread it around to where it could have actually affected close races and the electoral results might have looked a lot different.
