False reports cited in deaths of 24 Iraqis: Bush vows to punish any guilty marines
Officials admit U.S. troops fired on angry Kabul mob
it is a mess in iraq and i don't think anyone has the answer, or if someone does have a good idea how to bring peace to iraq and encourage a real democracy i doubt anyone with any kind o fpower would listen to that person because i am sure it would have something to do with the removal of american troops (which would be seen to them as a failure unless it was their decision) and installation of an international force (which doesn't exist and most countries wouldn't want to fund since it is seen as a problem the americans created). i suppose until a big change in policy or the international community shifts its attitude then the americans will be in charge, even if they do it poorly.
i am even more confused about afghanistan. and although i don't like canadians fighting there i know that we can't up and leave like so many other times in the past as it creates an even larger mess in the future.

yes yes! i just wrote you an email with a complete list of survival items that you might consider bringing on your great treak to the wild, wild west. i can't stress enough the importance of the chaps and high-waisted, no-pocket cowgirl jeans. i promise, everyone here wears them!
