Elections?

Disregard the previous post. I will not waist words condemning the war. That's a no brainer, but I cannot be uninterested in the aftermath. The elections in Iraq today are unique in that a population has never before been asked to risk their lives to cast a vote. That is the real situation, and I fear what news I will hear tomorrow.
It would be great if a elected congress could join together, disregarding past conflict, and craft a constitution for a twenty-first century country. There are plenty of smart well educated people in Iraq who could create a genially democratic government, that avoids the problems that plague most western nations. ( The list of problems with capitalistic systems is long but it is the best yet developed, and could be refined with a well thought constitution, and realistic body of law.)
It sure would be terrific, but the reality of the times deals it a hearty blow.
I don't know what will happen and there is no one who knows , but the bets are large and least we forget: The world runs on oil. Iraq sits on an ocean of oil.
That is the bottom line.

No news better news

I can't stand to watch the news anymore. Everyday bombs in Iraq. Have we become numb to the events? I guess so because the rest of the news is devoted to the show in Washington. The glory of a presidential return. Yes it's going to be four more wonderful years of war, rape, and pillage.
I am too disgusted to continue writing about politics.
If I post to this blog again it will be about things that might be interesting to human beings.
As a parting shot, George Bush should be impeached for crimes against the citizens of America.

Big Easy n Bush

When he finally spoke I was apalled at the lack of human compasson. He said it was a mess that we had to clean up.
Thousands of human beings in the most dire of circumstanish and he calls it a MESS. What is with thi guy?
Let's back up a bit. When Kat hit and passed over Florida leaving distruction it was a sure thing that it was a big storm and wasn't going to fade when it got over the warm gulf. And storm tracking is getting pertty good so it was a fair bet that it would hit NOL. I didn't miss the early warnings from news media running stories about NOL being under sea level. ( a duh stupid ya) But the powers that be didn't seem to pick up on the possibilities. I guess they were counting on luck. Well they lucked out.
Any decent government would have, in the early days of hurricand Kat looked at to possibility that it would be a threat in the gulf and watched closely. The vacationing president was not watching. It seems that anyone that was watching was crossing their fingers and hoping for the best. Best was not what happened. Worst was.
Was our President or whoever should be watching over these things paying attension? No.
It was evident a full day before the evdent that Kat would hit the NOL area with cat 5 force.
Nothing was done. It hit. Nothing was done. A full day and nothing was done.
What should have been done?
About 10 times what has been done.

New Years

I find that I can't be happy new year ish.
The disaster in the Indian ocean is the biggest event of the century.
Think about it. One hundred fifty thousand dead. My guess, could be more or less, but that's only part of the problem. Mr Bush offered 35 million aid. The world said WHAT? Now it is 350 million, ten times the original. His totally failed war has cost 100 billion with no end in sight. This is madness.
Adaven would support a recall of the Bush administration.
