We are now arming insurgents in Iraq. English or Espanol.
This is an interesting twist to this pathetic occupation. If you look at it as a way to ally ourselves with the people and actually form a valid base upon which a democratic nation could be built, this is a great idea. The problem is these militias are the same ones who oppose the current democratically elected government. It would seem a bit counter productive to supply those who oppose the already in place government with arms and other necessities. I wonder what the Iraqi government officials think of this.
The question of the hour, my brothers in arms, has been bouncing around in the small chasms of my head. I’ve expressed this dilemma to a few of you on different occasions and am yet to come up with a decent solution. Where do we draw the line in the sand and refuse to compromise? Where do ideals and beliefs become the motivation for revolution? I ask you, my friends, where do you draw the line?
I have my thoughts, ideas and useless rhetoric to protect me, but in the end where is it that I will make my last stand and over what. There are many things that I would die to defend but very few I would kill for. I take a look at what the wars in this world are fought over and I can’t help but feel disillusioned with humanity. How can we kill for such useless things?
Anyways, those are my two cents for the day.
Peace. Love. and Revolution.

We kill all over the world for the right to go to Wal-mart, yet we have never had to defend one.That day is coming soon. Where will all Caucasians be? In their basements watching it all on youtube is my guess. My point is that someday this nation will have to defend something of actual importance and it won’t know how. Think about it, we have the most technologically advanced military in history, yet it is plagued by children with trash can bombs, What is can never be……….
PEACE, brother
