Maybe they should try recounting the votes over there as well...seeing that they could not get the body count right.

I watched Braveheart again last night and wouls suggest that the Spanish watch it as well as the Patriot.

william wallace to "Spain"

"Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live...at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade all of that from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freeeedoooomm!"

Mass murders of Spainish citizens blamed on the govt instead of the murderers...

The idiots march against the govt that was willing to fight for them...

and lift up the murderers as victims..having been forced into such desperation they 'just had to kill everyone'

The EU world decends into more madness...and the elite in America attracted to this madness

My former boss was part of the D-Mort team that was working to ID 9/11 victims. He said it was horrible.

Sometimes working with things as small as a piece of skin or a fingertip.

I wouldn't be able to do it.
