I hope he runs in a straight line until his briefcase floats.  And tell
him to watch out for those flour bombs.

Classic example of feminism really being about men, no matter the
amount of chest beating and mouth bellowing they do about their
independence.  If feminists really couldn't give a rat's ass about men,
then UK feminists would have no objection to establishment of a men's
ministry.  Hence, there would be one, because the pols would have
nothing to lose, and all to gain.  But feminists would go crazy,
because ultimately, feminism is about controlling men.  Make them pay
taxes.  Make them pay CS.  Make them work.  Make them like feminists.
Re-educate them.  Fill in the blanks.

I don't believe he's murdered or crippled anyone.  He did what he
thought was right.  What other reason did he have?  The so-called
"insurgents" murdered the Brits lost in Iraq.  Consider the
alternative.

W and Blair unwittingly made Iraq a lightning rod.  Instead of
attacking Manhattan office workers, the thugs are attacking US Marines,
SAS, and other bad dudes who are trained to fight back.  Consider also
that we no longer have to look for them.  They're coming to our troops,
lining up to be killed.

The fighting is inevitable, and the attacks are inevitable.  Better to
have them in the desert than in Kansas City or Trafalgar Square.  Royal
Marine Commandos are much tougher than accountants, and better armed.
