  • Here's a good article about today's activity in the war-- mostly with all the surrendering Iraqi troops

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

========================

So what's funnier about that list of the US coalition:

a) That most of those poorer countries recieved a substantial "aid" package and/or trade agreement

Or

b) That Afghanistan is on there

......

I'm not trying to dismiss your opinion, but can you honestly tell me that the list above is 'honest' support for the US led war and not just Statistical propaganda? Where you even aware of the contents of this list beyond the "30+ countries support us!" (most aren't)?

Food for thought....

OH and, PS....you really, really suck.
