No news is good news

Sometime I wonder why I even bother to check the paper, news site and TV for news. It’s all just so depressing or just plain stupid, and at times depressingly stupid.

News that caught my attention today was that in Portland, Oregon -- The American Nazi Party volunteered to pick up trash along a quiet stretch of rural road in Oregon state, causing an uproar after getting a sign placed there crediting its work. "American Nazi Party" is written on the sign, which is part of the "Adopt-A-Road" program that encourages local groups to clean up road litter in exchange for recognition on small signs. Only in America I guess. Give them a chance. I think this Nazi group will do great work picking up all the “white trash”

The American constitution is a great thing that has just been manipulated and taken advantage of. I envy Americans cause they have the power to sue anyone when wrong has been done. This fear of being sued insure that the quality of products, services, and infrastructures is kept at a high, and the right of an individual or group is protected. But it’s just sad when this great constitution is just totally abused left, right and center.

And Americans has been brainwashed with the “it’s their right to do what they want “ mentality, that their blinded by how their society and culture is suffering and degeneration. It’s sadder still when you think that America has so much potential to do “real” good for it’s self and the rest of the world, unlike now where it does what is good for it’s self.

In Kuwait a gun battle between Kuwaiti security forces and Islamic militants left three people dead Sunday in Kuwait City. This bit of news interest me because it happened in the neighborhood of Salmiyah, which is where I spent 6 years of my childhood before the first Gulf War.

In Israel, more than 130,000 people have gathered outside the Israeli parliament to protest against plans to withdraw Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip. This “road map to peace” process is sure working out. From a Muslim standpoint what’s so sad about the Jews is that they were Gods chosen. They were the best among man, and they screwed it up. My personal definition of the Jews is the people that remembered every promise God made to them, yet forgot every promise they made to God. Yes God promised you the land of Palestine, but only if you followed his path.

In Iraq a British C-130 military transport plane crashed in the north of Baghdad. Last Wednesday it was an American helicopter. Of course the Iraqi resistance say they shot both aircraft down. So either the Coalition have badly trained pilots, and maintenance crew, or the Iraqi got some new land to air toys.

The Pentagon has already announced that it will keep 120,000 troops for the next two years, hence a lot of people think Iraq certainly will not be independent and free regardless of the elections. But how can the US be so confident that the elected Iraqi government would agree to the continuation of the US occupation, given that the recent polls showed over 90% of the Iraqi population viewed the US with contempt. In addition the US has been building military bases and the largest Embassy in the region, so what makes the US so sure that the future regime will not sever relationship and close down the bases and the embassy. Maybe the answer is the US intends to engineer the election; a genuine ‘free and fair’ election is possibly the last thing that the US will endorse. And therefore, the purpose of the election is merely to try and give some sort of bogus legitimacy on a regime that will be far more representative of the US interests than the Iraqi masses.

And in Iraq Marines call executing wounded combatants "dead-checking."
