I swear the next person to quote Nostrodamus at me with any degree of seriousness is gonna wish they�d had the power to see into the future.

I have to turn off the TV every time Bush rears his head with revenge in his eyes. An act of COWARDICE? No. This was anything but cowardly. Terrible and obscene and surreal, but not cowardly. Cowardly? That would be one million children dead as a result of American-lead sanctions and bombing campaigns against Iraq since the Gulf war. That would be you, and your predecessors, George. And us, because we�re fucked by our leaders, too. �Hunt�? �Down�? You mean hunt down Osama bin Laden? The rebel in Afghanistan who was given funding and trained by the CIA when they wanted him to put one over on Russia back in the good old days? If, IF, it was him, then you gave him the knowledge and resources yourself, Dickwad. Not so faceless then, was he?

Ah, fuck it.

It�s a different disgust today. A different feeling of being sick. Now we know about people. Now we know names, and faces.

Now we know the how. I guess the next job is to find the who. But don�t bother looking for the why. The why stopped mattering a long time ago. There IS no why any more.
