1480 and Iraqi Elections
02.26.05 (10:33 am)   [edit]
Hello readers. I still get hits so I assume that I still have readers. Life in the real world is more time consuming that that of what I had before but I am happy in my life. To top it off we have had some fantastic weather here in Vancouver.

Nothing much changes. The Americans are still mired in the Shit Hotel. I kind of got a kick out of the Right wing squealing about their "election victory" in Iraq. One little problem:

The Sunni population did not vote. Since they comprise about 90% of the resistance to the USA in Iraq, this is rather significant. America is now supporting one side in a civil war, just like it did in Vietnam.

I am also highly amused by the right wing in the USA. They declare victory over and over and people like Staff Sgt. Daniel G. Gresham get killed, the 1479th Ameican death since the debacle started. The age of 23 seems awfully young to be a Staff Sgt and certainly too young to die. The sad thing is that thousands more like him are going to die in what is boiling down to be a Muslim civil war.

The insurgency will not end any time soon. As long as Americans remain in Iraq they will die for oil. I wonder if the American kids being killed there realise how futile their being in Iraq is.

I doubt it.

ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
