I used to know "I'm not armed", "no surrender", "peaceful", "to go dancing", "pretty" and "the devil you say!", but I forgot.

Oh wait: (phoentics because I never saw it written down) ya nuura'lai'een. "Light of my eyes", or something like that. A compliment/pick-up line.

I just get very, very tired of people assuming I'm some kind of blind, know-nothing zealot.

I am also very, very tired of being yelled at for supporting the troops.

Get this through your fat skulls:

Their President sent them, so they went.

Why are the Iraqis fighting?

Their President sent them, so they went.

Does that make either side right? No.

Does that make bloodshed right? Hell no.

Does that make Al-Jazeera TV the foremost source of Truth on this planet? F*CKING hell no!

Does it mean we should feel for, and if you like, pray for, the unfortunate pawns on both sides of the game? Hell yes!

On the subject of the troops, and the Iraqi citizenry:

You don't have to hope for them to win. You could simply hope for them to live.

Go on, go ahead
Did you think I would plead
As if I could make you stop
No never you always get what you want
Go on, go ahead
Did you think they wouldn't see
As if I could bury markings black and blue
No never you always get what you want
Go on, go ahead
Did you have a bad day
As if it made you feel better
No never you always get what you want
Go on, go ahead
Hit me again.
