Thanks for the friendly welcome.
I didn´t know Pitt before, but he´s a funny guy. But my appreciation won´t go so far to buy one of his books ;-)

"I personally don't give a little rat's ass if every muslim in Iraq is killed."

No, sport, my sympathy´s not with Iraq. But even Muslims have a right to live. The very most majority of the Iraqis is not responsible for Saddams policy. Therefore I mourn for all innocent deads and for all those who fought for freedom und peace. I will grieve for the US servicemen and -women too, but also for Iraqi children or soldiers who just stood on the wrong side.

It´s Saddam and his followers who need to be eliminated, but the simple people are just mislead.

I didn't want to set up a whole new topic for this, but I thought it was highly revealing:

I strongly feel that the time for a military takeover of the U.S.G. is with us. The entire administration, the legislature (both houses) and the supreme court should be all dismissed from office and Bush and his closest colleagues be sent to Fort Levenworth for trial, charged with corruption and treason. The legislators who are relatively untainted by corruption should be sent home and the rest also to that Naval Brig in S.C. Same for the supreme court: to the brig!

Then under the guidance of a Navy Admiral the government should be set back on a true course, from which it has strayed terribly in the last couple of years.

Anybody in National political office at 31 December 2002 is forever banned from politics.

Start all over again with people who have never held elective office and with federally financed campaign using only radio and print advertisements...nothing on teevee.

The problem with this happy solution is that once in power the military is very reluctant to give it up viz; Pakistan, Turkey, Burma, Egypt etc., etc.

But, alas, it looks like that is a viable way out of the present mess.
