[history]
Let me confess something: I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Saddam Hussein's statue toppled in Baghdad.
I am a poet and know that eyes can, and do, deceive.
For three decades, part of them spent in prison, part in hiding and part in exile, I had often dreamed of an end to the nightmare of the Baathist-fascist regime. But I had never dreamed that the end, that is to say Iraq's liberation, would come the way it did.

A technocracy is a mobacracy...Red meat is affected by global warming and the Unibomber is underrated.
Should everyone have their own intern?

"What ails modern civilization? Fundamentally, our society's affliction is the decay of religious belief If a culture is to survive and flourish, it must not be severed ...
from the religious vision (( LINK )) --- out of which it arose. The high necessity of reflective men and women, then, is to labor for the restoration of religious teachings as a credible body of doctrine."

Thank you for the ping. This is my second read. I may read it again next week. We're getting far too few truthful and representative articles from our partisan press.

Thank you for the ping. I just watched the 2 Apache pilots on 60 minutes. When I think about what our brave young people have gone through, I'm happy to see that the Iraqi people appreciate their sacrifices, and the heavy sacrifice of American families who have lost loved ones in this conflict.
May God Bless them all!!
