good god, what has this world come to when babies can't live past 2. for Christ sakes what are we doing to our selfs. if u want to see what they use to do it, check out my blog- killin machines.
In the entire history of the world, when has a brutal dictator ever been sweet-talked through diplomacy into changing his ways? Why didn't you show the pictures of the joyful kids who were released from prison by American troops? Why didn't you show pictures of the mass graves and torture victims under Saddam's regime?
How can you turn your back on the suffering of the Iraqi people? Is it because they are just brown people on the other side of the world? In your mind, war is not the answer. In my mind, neither is cowardice and selfishness.
So what is the answer?
My opinion is, Unconditional Love.

This:
Anarchism, for her (Voltairine de Cleyre), not only raises the possibility of a better future, one which genuinely respects individual freedom, but also urges us to apply what we can of our ideas today. By encouraging the oppressed to revolt, we bring anarchism closer
"Anarchism . . . teaches the possibility of a society in which the needs of life may be fully supplied for all, and in which the opportunities for complete development of mind and body shall be the heritage of all. . . [It] teaches that the present unjust organisation of the production and distribution of wealth must finally be completely destroyed, and replaced by a system which will insure to each the liberty to work, withoutfirst seeking a master to whom he [or she] must surrender a tithe of his[or her] product, which will guarantee his liberty of access to the sources and means of production. . . Out of the blindly submissive, it makes the discontented; out of the unconsciously dissatisfied, it makes the consciously dissatisfied . . . Anarchism seeks to arouse the consciousness of oppression, the desire for a better society, and a sense of the necessity for unceasing warfare against capitalism and the State." ("McKinley's Assassination from the Anarchist Standpoint")

And this:
"... the events in New Orleans also contain explains of genuine anarchy -- people organising themselves to meet their individual and collective needs, helping each other out...."
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill is wrong.
I understand your answer, but what's the question?
I'm amazed at the time and effort you put in...to keep your blogs going. Good job.
The photos are a little heavy on the psyche to look at. It's regrettably infinitely worse for the victims.
Thank you, Sir Real. I intend to. And I agree that the photos are heavy on the psyche. Not heavy enough to cause us to storm the white house as of yet though.
wahat the fuck
Not heavy enough to cause us to storm the white house as of yet though.
Yeah, I don't have the answer for that. I'm not sure the exact amount of carrion angels required to actually straightjacket the miscreants and put a damper on their mayhem.
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
John Stuart Mill
If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind.
John Stuart Mill
War Quotes:
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)
War is not nice.
Barbara Bush (1925 - )
War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military.
Georges Clemenceau (1841 - 1929
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
Jeannette Rankin (1880 - 1973)
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter (1924 - )
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
Mao Tse-Tung (1893 - 1976)
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once 'The Unnecessary War'.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), Second World War (1948)
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955)
Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.
W. L. George
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935), New York Times, Dec. 23, 1929
Everyone happy now?

Thanks.
sarcasm

Are you happy?

I agree, sweet talking Bush won't work. I mean, someone who blows up hospitals isn't usually willing to be reasonable.
I hope ypu will be obligated to file as "agents of foreign comunits regimes"
DEA and ATF have been on a hiring freeze for 2 years. The FBI has been allowed to hire 500 agents per year and continue to do so. Be afraid of the correct agency.
Being afraid of something will actively draw the object into your experience.
It's called, sometimes, the law of attraction.
Why do you think the US Government is trying so hard to make us afraid of 'terrorists'?
