My little rant this morning on the
other thread...
In Hollywood, activists Martin Sheen, and Rob Reiner, were among 30,000 chanting marchers who filled Hollywood Boulevard in protest of the President and his actions. In all, more than 350 cities throughout the world played host to throngs of peaceniks who waved banners and chanted anti-war slogans.
I wonder if these people know what they are really doing? If they would know/find out, I wonder if they would really care? I think not. Major-league arses, imho...
I extend my FULL support to President Bush and Tony Blair for their unrelenting pursuit of Liberating the Iraqi people...
Tony Blair: The price of my conviction
Excerpt:But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.
I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.
I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.
If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.
So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.

For those that thought the Clara Harris saga was over...
Witness to Harris murder loses job - hotel worker was fired day after testifying
Excerpt:
A Clear Lake-area hotel official who saw Clara Harris run over and kill her husband with her Mercedes-Benz was unjustly fired the day after he testified in Harris' murder trial, his lawyer said Monday.
Evangelos Smiros was fired from the Nassau Bay Hilton on Jan. 24 because the hotel fears possible legal action from the Harris family, said attorney Chip Lewis.
The hotel's corporate lawyer, Debra Thomas, said Smiros' termination "has nothing to do with his testimony." She said she was not at liberty to say why he was fired or discuss other details.
Smiros, who had worked at the Hilton since May 2000, was the hotel's food and beverage director. He was one of the first witnesses in the trial of Clara Harris, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday after being convicted of murdering her husband, David Harris.
Smiros testified about escorting Clara Harris out of the hotel and to her car on the night of July 24, shortly before she repeatedly ran over her husband in the hotel parking lot. A physical altercation had broken out in the lobby after Harris found her husband there with his mistress, Gail Bridges.
He told jurors that David Harris yelled, "It's over! It's over!" at his wife before she got into her car and "peeled rubber."
Smiros said he chased the car, calling for Clara Harris to stop, but he saw her run over her husband three times.
