tony blair looks terrible

gw blush seems to be threatening the iraqis when he says 'those people will be liberated!'

tolstoy: patriotism " is nothing else but a means of obtaining for the rulers their ambitions and covetous desires, and for the ruled the abdication of human dignity, reason and conscience."

maybe ive finally understood why those aljaz pix of pow's were illegal - the geneve convention says something about not parading or humiliating them... they certainly werent paraded, so they must have been humiliated... i think they were asked their name and where they are from - a few of them were from texas -- how fukking humiliating

i wanna be liberated. dont liberate me

k - so im watching cnn for a bit, and theres an analyst giving a glowing update, and he is talking about km's, not miles... i wonder if they do that normally on cnn, or mebbe its cnn international, or maybe they are using kms, because the 'absoulte numbers' are larger... am i getting too cynical???
