'Neocons' abandon Iraq war at White House front door
(1/18/07 Update: Convienent how history dissapears almost as fast as it happens: google cached version)
Ok, the Yahoo story is fleshed out very nicely, mine is short and rough.
Some actually interesting things I've seen recently:
Why it doesn't make sense even trying to invade Switzerland…
(that strike-the-root site is pretty good)
Lessons forgotten: why the US loses small wars
(summary: we really don't care enough and can't be brutal enough)
Following the money trail: where your taxes go…
(answer: guns, bombs and retired people)
Growing up in Africa (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)
(warning: pretty hardcore shit…not for the easily offended)
(don't drink the water…there's uranium, lead, arsenic and cadmium in the water…(must be like New Orleans…if you aren't 'worth' saving from an income generation standpoint, the government doesn't give a flying fuck about your life))
Josh Wolf is a journalist who took some pictures of a riot.
(he government threw him in jail because he said they couldn't have all of his material, Ni hao Mao Zedong! …did I mention he has been in jail for over one hundred days and HASN'T BEEN CHARGED WITH A CRIME?!?!)
More news from Africa that makes you think of feudal Europe…
(remember, like eight hundred years ago when everyone lived in shit and filth and worked the fields for their master and died brutally because the local lord didn't like the guy twenty miles to the east and you loved the pope (or else) and believed that Grendel and Beowulf was a true story…)…(actually, this story reminds me a lot of the United States for some reason…)
Thank god, the nightmare is over…
(did I already post this?)
(for the moonjuana smoking hippy in you)
Lots of interesting stuff! Still have some links to read.
