Mesopotamia. Babylon. The Tigris and Euphrates
Guardian, UK - 4-2-03
On the steel torsos of their missiles, adolescent American
soldiers scrawl colourful messages in childish handwriting: For Saddam, from
the Fat Boy Posse. A building goes down. A marketplace. A home. A girl who
loves a boy. A child who only ever wanted to play with his older brother's
marbles |

Today's cartoon was inspired by
wondering if Bush is really a moron with a thug mentality or does he know
exactly what he is doing. Either way -- we lose.

Bush, allies may be liable before global court, says RP jurist
By ESTRELLA TORRES - TODAY Reporter
Despite the refusal of Washington to ratify the agreement that created the
International Criminal Court (ICC), US President George W. Bush and the
leaders of the “coalition of the willing” may face indictment on war crimes
owing to the ongoing military attacks in Iraq.
Ambassador Raul Goco, former Philippine jurist of the United Nations
International Law Commission, said war crimes do not prescribe and in the
event of change in the US administration, the new leaders may decide to
endorse the ratification of the ICC to the US Senate. |

Quotes of the Day
| "The Pentagon said today they're sending another 100,000
troops into the Gulf. We have 250,000 there and another 100,000 on the way —
it's Operation George Gone Wild." —Jay Leno |
"The president had a press conference the other day and
he insisted that we have a huge coalition, larger than the one we had in
1991. I'm not saying he's lying, but he would believe anything Dick Cheney
tells him." —Bill Maher |
''Wise men talk because they have something to say;
fools, because they have to say something.''-- Plato |

Over 18,000

bombing has found no place in the media reporting. Bush may "liberate"
Iraq but Bush also poisoned their land and water. What kind of liberation
is that?

This is getting
insane. From banning anything French to suspending a teacher for displaying
student's artwork. What's next -- the ancient Spartan punishment of

Greetings, Lisa.
I came across your web site while doing some research today and laughed my head
off. Truly, thanks for the intelligent
commentary and hilarious wit.
I assume you've read Fortunate Son by
(the no longer living) Mr. Hatfield?
All the best,
Jamie W.
Thanks for
writing. I have read Fortunate Son. I wonder what Greg Palast, Gene
Lyons and Eric Alterman think happened to Mr. Hatfield?
