Peaceniks in Iraq 'Shocked back to reality'…

UPI:”A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese human shield volunteers made it across the border today with 14 hours of uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government minders present. Kenneth Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told UPI the trip “had shocked me back to reality.” Some of the Iraqis he interviewed on camera “told me they would commit suicide if American bombing didn’t start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam’s bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head.”

Sorry for the lack of updates…

I’m working on some new sites/school stuff.

Laurel has been getting into some trouble bashing Rachel Corrie, the (anti) American terrorism advocate who was crushed as she stood or crouched in front of an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer in Gaza.

I share the WSJ Opinion Journal’s sentiment in that:
“It’s a shame that Rachel Corrie died the way she did. It’s shameful that she lived the way she did.”

Laurel’s take on the story is even better:

“What Rachel Corrie did wasn’t noble, it was stupid. I sincerely hope that other ‘human shields’ will realize their naivete and go back to smoking weed all day.”

I offer the following photo of her at a pro-Saddam rally last month as my commentary:

Good Riddance!

Have you forgotten?

I hear people saying we don’t need this war
I say there’s some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn’t get to keep ’em by backing down
Now they say we don’t realize the mess we’re getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn’t worry ’bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it’s too disturbing for you and me
It’ll just breed anger that’s what the experts say
If it was up to me I’d show it everyday
Some say this country’s just out looking for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I’d have to say that’s right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn’t worry ’bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Now I’ve been there with the soldiers
Who’ve gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they’re fightin’ for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
And all the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don’t you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn’t worry ’bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
