America has just out-evilled Evil itself
... ... ... (I am momentarily struck dumb) ... ... ... Financial free ride? Financial FREE RIDE?! What crack smoking, sanity challenged, soul-deprived, inhuman abomination could possibly say that with a straight face?! Not only does your Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, deign to openly dictate what Iraq's government will do while claiming it tastes freedom for the first time, they now force the Iraqi people to reimburse the military that carpet bombs entire city blocks for the fuel they expend in the process of raining death and terror upon them and have publicly declared that all aid Iraq received after being crushed beneath jack-booted heels was some undeserved kindness. Not only this, but they're also going to be forced to make the payments America has promised to what amounts to the Middle Eastern branch of the Minutemen. That is simply beyond any unholy act Satan himself could ever perpetrate. America has just out-evilled Evil itself without even blinking. The Treaty of Versailles wasn't this freaking twisted. It's like taking someone prisoner, living in their house, locking them in the basement, beating them senseless on a daily basis, using their life's savings to buy guns to arm gangs, killing their children before their very eyes, convincing the surviving children that they need to kill each other, and then telling them to be grateful for all of it. I hope you're happy, Bush, you and your cabal of warmongering parasites of death. You've guaranteed that the Middle East will be a war-torn impoverished Hell on Earth long after you've gone to the real Hell to face the tender mercies of a Devil hard pressed to think of something awful enough to do to you in accordance with your sins against your fellow man. The religiously motivated skirmishes and long standing tensions that took root in the centuries before you descended upon that part of the map like a plague now seem nothing more than schoolyard fights between stubborn children. I only hope the rest of the world will be around to clean up the gory mess you will doubtlessly compound on. It grows increasingly doubtful that America will survive its President. With a shattered economy, political inbreeding, withering natural resources, a military stretched too thin, and a growing list of enemies that is already too long to recount it may be time for individual states to decide what country they'd prefer to be absorbed into after it all comes crashing down around their ears. That's assuming there are any countries left when The Other Butcher of Baghdad finally snaps and becomes the Butcher of All Creation.
Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication. When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever. We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong. You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>. But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else. Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want. If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread. If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
