Reminds me of Kristofferson's song, Jesus was a Capricorn, esp. the chorus and last verse:

Chorus:

'Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on
Who they can feel better than at any time they please
Someone doin' somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me

Some folks hate the Whites
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan
Most of us hate anything that
We don't understand

Here are some photos of the Iraqi demonstration. I am amazed! From all accounts it was a peaceful demonstration with no U.S. military to be found (except overhead in helicopters).

Doesn't it strike you as strange that this many Iraqis can gather together peacefully but it costs the U.S. billions of dollars and countless numbers of lives to control Iraq?

There is some good news out of Iraq!!
During Saddam's reign, tattoos were punished with the death penalty. Now Iraqis may have any tattoo they want. The only problem is that many have the dilemma of getting a tatto that says Death to American, or heart that says 'Mom'. They are going with Death to America because you never know when your feelings about Mom would change.

This has to be a tough one for our brothers/sisters/friends in the US. Their government is ineffectual, most Americans are somewhat shamed that they have the leadership they do, and those kids are stuck in Iraq having to take orders from a C-in-C like Bush.

Yes, get the kids home. Now would be good. And let Saudi Arabia arm the Sunnis. And Iran the Shi'ites. And Lord knows who the Kurds. In two years, when another Somalia or Rwanda has occurred, maybe then the fu#kin' UN will get OFF its ass and at least help clean up the mess.

Donuel: "I wanted to do a comedy sketch of Bush standing up and the Iraqis sitting down...the Iraqis sitting down and Bush standing up... etc etc until they all just walk around hunched over"

Brilliant! I love that one!!

I'd like to drop George Bush and Dick Cheney naked in the middle of Sadr City. Let them hobnob with the locals for a bit. Get to know the people.

Some would say that this is a sign that the surge is working. Four years ago, a peaceful demonstration could not have taken place. ;^}

Any excuse will do when you're trying to cover your butt.

Ya know, it strikes me as a lot more simple, sometimes, than it is being said to be.

1. Massive disarmament of military weapons.
2. Strict constitutional protections against religious discrimination or any use of the government to shield or forward religious agendas.
3. Establishment of an army and a province-by-province police force.
4. Uniform educational opportunities without regard to sect or gender.
5. Establishment of parliamentarian processes they can live with.

This is a big task, any one of them is huge, but it is within the power of the Iraqi people, especially if they respond to one charismatic leader who believes they should not kill one another.

After the President's comment regarding the Iraqi demonstrations, Al Sharpton said "that boy don't know Shittes from shinola".

Some estimates say upwards to 100,000 demonstrators took to the streets.

George said the US would stand down when the Iraqis stood up.

Today he said that he didn't say "Simon says" stand up so it doesn't count.
