The Big Apple

I won't be able to write anything for a week or so, I'm heading out to the states tomorrow, New Jersey to be exact. I realise that the picture is of New York, I'm going there too... I think...I never really plan ahead.
Anyhoo, I hope you all have a good week, try not to worry too much about the world, it'll sort itself out eventually. We'll achieve harmony before the end.

Peace

End Game

Possibly not the most responsible move by an Army chief: "we want out."
What positive effect this could have on soldiers' morale, I'm not totally sure. Risking your life is one thing as part of your job, but doing it when you're bosses don't even think you're going to be there.
Also, any deaths that occur out in Iraq between now and the day of leaving, will be scrutinised and criticised even more than they are already; "They should have been home already".
Talking of responsibility, it probably wasn't the best idea to announce it to the most right-wing newspaper available; The Daily Mail HATES Tony Blair, and anything that is connected to the Iraq War. I don't think this is because they are against violence in the Middle East...after all, that would hint that they have some kind of conscience... but rather they just like bashing the government.
It would be like Dick Cheney announcing something through the National Inquirer, or a daily newspaper whose headlines typically read something like:
"DOES TEENAGE SEX HURT YOUR DAUGHTERS?"
"ASYLUM, YOU'RE RIGHT TO WORRY"
etc etc.

It's all a bit of a shambles, however the sentiment is perhaps right. We want our men home. But at what cost to the Iraqi people and our national morale?

The winner of this war was capitalism, and the loser was humanity.

It turned into a bit of a rant..

So I've basically neglected my responsibilities for a little while; I haven't posted anything except pictures and videos. Yeah, very lazy.

Have another video.


But on a more inspirational note, I'll give you a quote by Brittany Murphy:
"Everybody has difficult years, but a lot of times the difficult years end up being the greatest years of your entire life, if you survive them."

Oh, and North Korea have full nuclear capabilities, and are "a threat to peace".
What's the betting that its us who attacks first? We do love our pre-emptive strikes! Surely the people who start wars should be seen as more of a threat..
The reason Britain are so nice to America? We don't want them to attack. The "Special Relationship" is more like going out with a slightly scary partner that you don't want to break up with, in case they bomb you.

I'd have thought that the country with the most ASSault weapons (that's right, I made an ass joke to show my rage. Although in Britain it should be "arse" but it didn't fit too well into the word assault.) Anyway, surely the country with the most assault weapons should be the biggest threat to PEACE?

"We need to be able to defend ourselves, something'th amendment etc"

Well stop attacking people and I might believe you. And no, somebody building a weapon isn't reason to attack. They're just copying you because you're so cool.

Clooney on Darfur

It may have been the words of a hollywood actor, rather than a political leader, but I found them rather poignant and apt.
