Every time I hear somebody mention how "convenient" it is for Clinton to bomb
Iraq, it makes me want to puke. I'm sorry, but maybe if you guys would have
paid a little more attention to what goes on in the world(instead of knowing
::just:: enough so that you look smart) you would have seen this coming.
Funny, nobody seemed to notice 2 weeks ago when Saddam Hussein refused to let
U.N. inspectors check out a weapons plant on a very legal surprise search.
Seeing as though he's done this MULTIPLE times in the past 5 years, and has
been let off easily every single time, and then decides to push the envelope
further each time, this bombing was far from "convenient." Call me crazy, but
if a man who has attempted to wage war agaisnt countries that he could not
defeat is toying with nuclear or biological warfare, and refusing to let the
U.N. inspect his plants, I sure as hell would like something to be done. The
man waged a war against every powerhouse in the world 7 years ago, he's few
fries short of a happy meal. I don't know, something about an insane man with
nuclear/biological weapons KINDA scares me. If anybody is responsible for the
deaths in Iraq in the previous week, it's their so-called "leader" who
obviously doesn't care about his people one bit. Getting his ass out of power
over there isn't to benefit America, or England, or anybody else. It's to
benefit the people of Iraq. Now, I have more than my fair share of complaints
with the United States as a country, and trust me, I am not a victim of
propaganda. But it is plain to see what is going on in Iraq. This isn't
Vietnam, where the citizens decided to have a communist government and the
U.S. tried to take it away. These people have no voice. I believe, if Bono
were speaking, this is the part where he'd say "Am I buggin' ya? I don't mean
to bug ya..."
As for some U2 content, I was wondering if anybody could trade or sell me a
copy of any of the following...
U2 A to Z(MTV)
U2's Live-Aid Performance
Duets II(the one with Bono and Prince)
"Where The Streets Have No Name" cd single
Thanks. E-mail me if you can help.
Well, that's all for today. If I made any more enemies, oh well. The truth
hurts.
Fake as anything,
Matt
