In Brazil a young woman portrays a great democratic leader and liberator of oppressed peoples as a fascist, even as she seeks to maintain a genuine fascist and murderer in power over 25 million souls. Such is the way of those who stand under the communist flag.[/Diogenesis Mode]

In Columbia an American turns against her country and opposes the liberation of Iraq from totalitarianism. Will she likewise defend violent leftist insurgents and narco-terrorists who murder Columbians, seeking to replace their elected leaders with thugs and slave masters?

I did not know the Gurkhas were in Kuwait! This is good news.

Those troops, American, British, Australian, have to know we are praying for them fervently, every day.

The most treacherous enemies of America during this war -- the French, the Germans and the Turks -- will regret their immorality and power greed, even as Saddam, if he lives, will regret his brutality toward his own people and Americans.

I grew up under the flight path for Mather A.F.B. I used to see the underside of those giant roaring beasts several times an hour on good days. I always loved watching them when I was a kid, as an adult I miss them but glad they are still showing their bellies to others.

Can someone tell me what a ghurka is??

Ghurkas are from Nepal (just north of India). They are short, tough little men. They are justly famous for their fighting skills, courage and loyalty.

The favorite weapon of the Ghurka is the khukri, a large curved knife which is suitible for decapitating an enemy with one stroke.

Ghurkas have been part of the British forces for a couple of centuries. They do good work.

I like them because I glued together a few plastic model B-52s when I was little.
