It appears competent homicide bombers are hard to come by these days. Just a couple of weeks after it came to light that the virile and leonine al-Qaida "fighters" had used mentally retarded women to do their dirty work for them in Iraq, in Afghanistan one schmoe exploded himself as he was putting on his explosive belt. He took out three of his buddies with him. In another incident, the would-be bomber managed to don his vest laden with explosives but then tripped, fell down a flight of stairs and went KABOOM!!

BTW, I've come across a hysterical Arab website called "Arab News." It's based in Saudi Arabia but it's in English. It's shamelessly biased but offers great insight into just what kind of sickos and retrogrades we're dealing with. I'll be visiting this subject in my future installments.

Shalom!

A grueling article in the Torygraph today: a former U.S. Army soldier who actively participated in the most horrific torture of--per his own admission--largely completely innocent people bears it all. As revolting as the description of some of the techniques used is his disclosure about whence and how those methods were acquired: the Soviets, select despotic regimes littering the planet and... - the natzim. Yes, the natzim. The bulwark of "democracy," “justice” and "liberty" is using NATZI techniques in its war for freedom.

One is left speechless.

Despite the vehement opprobrium I showered on the incumbent U.S. administration once it had launched its illegal and despicable aggression on the equally despicable Saddam regime, following the latter's overthrow I was rooting for the good guys. I figured: what's done is done, let's rebuild Iraq. Following revelations such as the foregoing, it is very difficult for me not to sense a (shameful) satisfaction when I learn of the death of an American or "coalition" footsoldier. Shameful I say because many of those men are really boys who've been brainwashed and/or had little economic choice other than to enlist (I know, I know: not the best of sources. Believe me, I don't like them either but the info is genuine). The most tragic thing in all this is that the bastards responsible for this bloodshed--the real culprits--will never face justice and will continue living a life of luxury until their very end. Yo think that ghastly crooked-mouth Cheney will even want for anything? And how many lives has he irredeemably destroyed...

BTW, what do we do about an increasingly recalcitrant Russia? Well, what was done the last time there was a country with (1) weapons of mass destruction (and this time they really DO exist), (2) capable of reaching certain entities in 45 minutes, and (3) headed by a ruthless dictator? Ya reckon the same thing's gonna happen this time round? Why not? Answers on an e-postcard please.

Shalom umvorakh...
