No matter how strong the storm

please note... this was in the casper star tribune, dick cheney's hometown newspaper... i hope he sees it, although i doubt ordinary human emotions have much effect on his dark soul...


Thousands of posters and billboards dot Baghdad with messages of hope for a city of gloom, where residents largely stay home, afraid of the streets, their pain and grief deepening every day amid unending violence.

"No matter how strong the storm, it will go away in the end," declares the message on one poster, with a picture of a worried young woman clasping a boy to her body, her hand protectively placed over his head, her hair fluttering in the wind.

yes, i bitch loud and long about what's happening in MY country, but, let me not ever, EVER, EVER forget that it is MY country that has made life a living hell on earth for iraqis, people who want nothing more than what i want, what we ALL want - a life of peace that we can live as we choose, caring for our loved ones and families, and being treated as human beings with dignity and respect...
