The second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq has come and past. Is the country better off? What better way to find out than to read from an Iraqi Blogger.
For the real story of Iraq I challenge you to read up a little!
Here is a taste:
It has been now two years since the United States, UK and other countries invaded our nation. It has been two years since Iraqis have had to live with daily violent attacks and rampant terrorism. It has been two years since our nation began being turned upside down. It has been two years since the road to democracy began.
It has been a very hard two years. So many people have died, so much has been destroyed, so many drops of tears and blood have been shed, so many have been robbed of loved ones, and so many words have been spoken about Iraq, it's future, and this war.
Two years...seems like yesterday that I was awoken by bombs going off in Baghdad, and the realisation that my life and that of my country was going to change. That very day I remember being scared that my house might be destroyed by a bomb, or that my relatives who were forcibly put into the Iraqi army might be killed.Two years since Saddam came on TV, and pledged that Iraq would never fall. Little did he know, he surrendered like a rat in a whole only months later. Two years since my father had a heart attack.... Read more

Morality vs. God
IRVINE--The idea that morality is impossible without faith in God isan endlessly-repeated theme of several Fox News Channel talk showhosts. "This idea must be challenged," said Dr. YaronBrook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute.
"It implies that man has no reason or purpose to be moral; itimplies that no rational standard of morality is possible; it impliesthat in questions of morality man must suspend reason and blindly submit to faith or blindly obey some authority's'revelations' or 'mystical insights.' To imply that we have no earthly reason to be moral is profoundly immoral. "The purpose of morality," said Dr. Brook, "is todiscover and teach the principles that lead to life, achievement,happiness, success, joy. There is only one means to discover andunderstand these principles: reason. A proper morality, one for living on earth, requires rationality and independence of soul, not faith and obedience to self-appointed interpreters of an alleged omnipotent being. A proper morality looks not to the supernatural but at man's nature and the reason why he needs values--and then defines the values he must reach and the virtues he must practice toreach them.
Dr. Brook concluded: "Properly understood, not only does morality not require faith in God--morality is incompatible with faith in God. The moral is the rationally accepted and chosen, not the mindlessly believed and followed."

Quote This.....
When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: "Only stand out of my light." Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light.
-- John W. Gardner

Michael Moore's ability to seperate the masses from their money is proof that, Capitalism Works!

Ok, enough all ready!!!
We are back online. The legal issues are over and the broadcast will start up again in April. So stay tuned! A new sound and a new studio. Defending America's most persecuted minority:
The American Businessman. Coming to a media player near you!
Politics
Looks like the Commies in Russia want to gain power again, but this time they have to use the enemies tools to do it. Capitalism Works!
Let's not forget Gun Control in England! Or maybe that should be ax control.
Now on to the news.
Ellen Ratner is an idiot, in my dubious opinion. Her latest attack is against Karen Hughes who was brought back into the Bush Administration to help our image abroad. She fails to mention that President Bush has had more women, blacks and Latinos holding higher office than any administration. I especially love her "favorite women" comment. Sounds a little sexist to me!
Sports:
Global Warming is now affecting the sports world. I'm surprised the Environmentalists haven't picked this up yet! Kerron Clement just broke the 400 meter dash set by Michael Johnson in 1995 with a time of 44.57. Must be due to Global Warming, less air density I would surmise.
