I apologize if I came off as insensitive.
My humor, which hopefully you can see that's what I was aiming at, can sometimes be quite dark.
It's a way some of us cope with a world gone mad. If I was serious I would have ripped off some diatribe such as, they deserve what they get for putting themselves in harms way, or the opposite, that's why we need to slaughter more Iraqi people who disagree with our occupation of their country, or seek a different future for their people (living half a world away from my country) than what the current U.S. Administration seeks to impose upon them.
Yes, I've read about it, 830 Romanian troops in Iraq...here is the first news post on this subject in this thread...
Romanian Journalists Missing In Iraq
I think the whole war is a travesty.
I think the circumstances that the U.S. has helped create are rather sick and disgusting. No WMD, no bin Laden, little if any connection to 9/11, helping inadvertantly build a Shiite fundamentalist majority that may side with Iran and ultimately go after Saudi Arabia, rising oil prices, all bogging us down in the Middle East for years to come, and domestically the Social Security scam, etc...that's what I call sick and disgusting.
But no, let's focus on Terri Schiavo's plight.
I'm very sorry about all of the needless suffering and cruelty that has occured every day in Iraq since the U.S. "liberated" it.
Lots of journalists and women and children and soldiers and others have all been killed, or seriously injured (both physically and psychologically) - I'm sorry for it all.
Hopefully the Romanian journalists (male and female alike) will not be killed by Iraqi extremists, and hopefully if they are liberated they won't be shot at or killed at a U.S. checkpoint.
Is that serious enough for you? Or should I take sides and argue ad naseum on an adult webmaster board without making a difference like many do?
I choose other more effective forums to apply my politics in.
If you think venting at me makes a difference, go ahead. You may think so, but I really do not think that I am your enemy.
War sucks.
Peace.
