Saddam Insane, P.O.W.

Has a nice ring to it. But, a VERY expensive one.

Just the other day, I was listening (IRL, not the news/paper/net/whatever) to a mother talking about how she has children fighting over there. And, one of her son's was taken off a truck just 15 minutes before it was blown up by one of those road side attacks. Small world.

I've always thought of the Gulf Wars as something like the Hatfield's and the McCoy's. Like it was the Bush family vs. the Hussain family. And, both sides had access to a whole lot more then just shotguns. I would have put money on a bet that had there been a Clinton, Jr. next in office, this war would have practically disappeared.

Oh, and don't you know that the Secret Service has made it illegal to protest Mr. Bush...anywhere in public. A supporter can shake the man's hand. But a protester can gripe in a jail cell. (Think the SS wipe their butt on the Constitution, too?)
