Alexander never asked he just went. The turks are so broke it'll be close, but this idiot will do it anyway. Nostrodamus told me so.
Tuesday doesn't work for you? If I move my tae-bo and my luncheon with Mao, I can push the invasion to next Wed. Is that better? good. never put off til tomorrow.....
Actually, it's not going to be Tuesday anymore. The UN vote could now be Friday, and then as soon as the resolution is vetoed by three separate countries (France, Russia, China), Bush will begin raining fiery death all over the middle east.
USA is AOK!

Do you agree with the following lines by a famous poete called Burgers:
Is it war? It's insanity.
Naturally, the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
Didn't work for Vietnam, though, did it? The people can stop an unpopular war. Why do you think Harold Wilson, despite repeated US pressure, never committed a single British troop to 'Nam? Gulf War One was about liberating a conquered country. Gulf War Two will be about reshaping the middle east in a way that suits the west. I think people are more aware than you give them credit for.
1. That was a very famous quote of Goering 2. The people can't do shit nowadays, anybody my age can see that. The war has started. It will go on no matter what. To answer your questions: it wasn't really tried in Vietnam, the enemy was too vague, and, furthermore, despite all the popular revolt the fact of the matter is a lot of time and a lot of people were spent fighting that war. As for Harold Wilson, the reason may be because there was no way in hell he could ever convince anyone to go to 'Nam to fight. People may be wholly and totally aware, but it doesn't matter. Awareness doesn't count for shit in America. We didn't vote for our president. Nobody gave a fuck. Now he's making war. Nobody gives a fuck. Give me a job, give me starbucks, I may whine, but I don't give a fuck.
I have personally dusted down my bifocals to offer you a few curmudgeons on politicians, and Nicholas one hopes you enjoy them as much as I.
1) if President Bush has a straight penis, its the only part of his adminstration that is 2)They are nothing else but a load of kippers - 2 faced with no guts 3)Mothers want all their sons to become president but they dont want them to be politicians in the process. For now my dear boy, farewell.
insightful
Problem is, I was wrong. The war didn't begin on a Tuesday. It was a Friday in the end, I think.
give war a chance!
Opinionated. How much do you know?
poems are not a good medium for political views... at least in my humble opinion...
Not very good.
