    I was looking for the most appropriate place to post a link to an article that just scares the shit out me I read on the Guardian site this evening. I didnt look far for the best place to post after all, so whether this is the most appropriate place to paste, I cant say. Im doing it anyways.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,1440836,00.html


    As a footnote, this forum not just like any other public forum out there, and it certainly isnt a waste of time posting here. There are some incredible minds contributing to this site. If a person cant learn or gain anything on this site, maybe they belong in another world, in a higher place at least. If youre such a person please smile down on us and then welcome us generously when we arrive. We will arrive.

    I don't think this is the right place for this either, but I must respond. The last paragraph of that article sums up the current state of affairs in the U.S. nicely. The really sad part is that we Americans know it's happening (at least we can know that it is happening), yet we can't or won't stop it, short of decline, destruction or maybe even obliteration this time.

    Here is part of the last paragraph of Vossist Arts' Guardian article:

    The US army came to Afghanistan as liberators and now are feared as governors, judges and jailers. How many US marines know what James Madison, an architect of the US constitution, wrote in 1788? Reflecting on the War of Independence in which Americans were arbitrarily arrested and detained without trial by British forces, Madison concluded that the "accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary, in the same hands may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."

    How abouit the fact that no one gives a accurate number of Israls who are killed in a nice little truthfull graph, I just spent a hour finding the numbers, The Israels have lost 2985 people since 2000, to Palistinan sucide attack, rocket attacks, and assassinations, the chart dosn't give the true figures of Israels losses, and when you take the Israeli percentage of loss's per pouplation they are lossing more people than the Palistinan are, lets look at this in perspective.

    Koffi Anan now blasting the Bush admin. Why did he have to wait all this while to tell us what some of us already know? Does he think he is doing any justice now or is he trying to leave some kind of foolish legacy? He was there when the United States carried out all they wanted to do in the Mid East for the past 5 years, but he didn't say anything or criticize...not a word. Now that he is about to leave he thinks he is doing us a favour. He syphoned a lot from the U.N and didn't even do Jack about Dafur. The UN could do better...please
