Civilized Discourse

Edward Goodwin, who has an excellent blog, says this about my post about US Marines eating food offered by Iraqi civilians:

I found it strange seeing this posted on sciatica considering how anti-war he has been. So now my question is, with some proof that the Iraqi people want us there, why would you refuse them their liberties by pulling out of this conflict?

Yes, it is proof that there are Iraqis who do not mind, and seem to welcome, our presence. My point with the headline on that one was that our guys were not supposed to be starving and willing to eat whatever the Iraqis offered. One of the soldiers was quoted as saying that it could have been a trick, not unlike the car bombing at that checkpoint. Sure, the chance of poisoned food was likely small, but still existed.

Some say we have overextended our supply lines and are causing some hardships to our men at the front. I spoke earlier of the stories of rations being reduced.

Great armies of the past have been brought to their knees by much lesser foes due to logistics problems. Napolean was brought down by the weather killing his supply lines in Moscow and the US had similar issues in Korea in 1950.

I believe that the folks who planned this war did not do a very good job. Several assumptions were not met, the most glaring error being that the Iraqi's would cooperate with being liberated from their oppressor.

This is flawed on one level due to the presence of Saddam's internal security to keep the population in line. We knew about this and, since the Shock and Awe phase failed to put Freedom cars on the streets of Baghdad, should have taken it into account.

This is flawed on a more fundamental level by the fact that we are a foreign army invading their country.

Let's say the Chinese, as one of the only other countries that can give us a good fight, decided that we needed a regime change. They started landing paratroopers in my neighborhood to liberate me. I would be out on my balcony trying to take out as many of them as I could. I would be meeting with my neighbors to figure out how to take these foreigners out. I would be fighting for my family, for my home and for my country. Anyone who collaborated with the enemy would be killed.

I say this as someone who thinks our Leader was elected by a vote of 5-4. I will effect regime change at the ballot box.

Wouldn't you fight back, even if your leader was an evil despot?

As to the pulling out issue, I am honestly worried about a "peace with honor" situation. So I know this is not a viable option for this administration. I can only hope the powers that be get their shit together and get this over with as soon as possible and get our troops back home where they belong.



It wasn't supposed to be like this

Na Na Na Na

The Leader does not like being fucked. If you fuck him, you are gone. He's done it before. Lindsay, O'Neill, Perle and others are either out or have had their positions radically cut.

If this is true, how long does Rummy have?



Jesus Christ (part deux)

2 Christian Groups' Aid Effort Questioned

The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest Protestant denomination, and Samaritan's Purse, run by the Rev. Franklin Graham, said they are ready to provide emergency shelter, food aid and medical care to Iraq's mostly Muslim population. The announcements raised concerns among U.S. Muslim leaders that the groups intend to proselytize in Iraq.

Graham, the son of the Rev. Billy Graham, has called Islam an "evil" and "wicked" religion that foments violence.

"I think it's a colossally bad move to have a group whose leader says Islam is 'evil' follow in the wake of U.S. troops in Iraq," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim advocacy group in Washington. "It would seem to confirm every suspicion in the Muslim world that the war on Iraq and the war on terrorism are really a war on Islam."


The spokesman for the Southern Baptists said:

"People who think about Christian missionaries in terms of persuading people to change their religion simply do not understand the Christian faith. It's not about religion; it's about a relationship with God."

The Iraqis already have a relationship with God. In fact, it is the same God we like. So why don't they do like the Methodists and funnel their aid through "established groups that do no evangelizing."



Jesus Christ

US soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush

They may be the ones facing danger on the battlefield, but US soldiers in Iraq are being asked to pray for President George W Bush.

Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called "A Christian's Duty," a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been praying for Bush.

"I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God's peace be your guide," says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces.

Bush (as commander in chief) reduced frontline rations from three MRE's a day to one. Maybe that Jesus fella can turn them back into three...





Fair and Balanced, my ass

Fox News chides demonstrators outside of it's studio

Fox News had its own response to the demonstrators. The news ticker rimming Fox's headquarters on Sixth Avenue wasn't carrying war updates as the protest began. Instead, it poked fun at the demonstrators, chiding them.

"War protester auditions here today ... thanks for coming!" read one message. "Who won your right to show up here today?" another questioned. "Protesters or soldiers?"

Said a third: "How do you keep a war protester in suspense? Ignore them."

Still another read: "Attention protesters: the Michael Moore Fan Club meets Thursday at a phone booth at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street"


Yes, Fox was exercising the same rights we all have. The problem is that they claim to be a "fair and balanced" news organization. At the very least, they should have preceded the jabs with the word "Commentary."

On the lighter side, JOURNALIST EMBEDDED WITH FOX NEWS

As part of an experimental new program initiated by the Defense Department, a journalist has been embedded with the Fox News Network, giving him unique access to the "fair and balanced" network for the duration of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

David Peterson, a reporter for the Akron Beacon-Journal, will be the only journalist living, working, and eating with Fox News staffers in the weeks to come.

"I think at first it was weird for them to have a journalist around," Mr. Peterson said

Ewwww

I hope this is a joke (halfway down the page)

the gossip columnist for Britain's Telegraph reports: "The balding White House spokesman . . . has females the length and breadth of the States a-swoonin'. . . . Some comments on the new Ari Fleischer Internet fan site: 'Some people don't understand how a hot blonde 24-year-old NYC girl could have such a major crush on Ari Fleischer -- but I DO!!' writes one groupie. 'I think it is so cool the way he can walk into a room full of press sharks and completely control the room and never ever flinch.' Another sighs: 'I am a 34-year-old wife and mother of two who still believes in right and wrong. Yes, even my husband knows of the crush I have on Ari, and finally I know I am not alone.' "




Photoshop this



This is one of the leaflets being dropped on Iraq.

Since I suck at Photoshop, would someone please replace the map with San Francisco, the picture in the upper left circle with a war protest photo and the lower right circle with a close up of the bill of rights or Michael Moore at the Oscars. The text should keep the "We can see everything." and add "Do not use your right to peacably assemble, protest or otherwise disagree with The Leader."

A bonus will be given if you can incorporate the shifty Ashcroft pic from bartcop.com.

When I had my surgery, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and Unreal Tournament worked really well.



This is why there are pictures on fast food cash registers

Tonight on NPR, they interviewed several people concerning their views of the war. The one that stuck with me was with a college student they say was carrying a sign that said 'Remember 9/11'. She said , "Why don't they remember those who died? Why don't they remember those who did this to us?' in response to those protesting the war.

I thought to myself, "Yeah, why don't we get them Saudis!'

I know that all of you reading this know there is no connection between Iraq and 9/11, but why do so many Americans think this is true?

Spaced Out

Remember the fantastic Kevin Spacey movies of the 90's? LA Confidential, Seven and The Usual Suspects were all great movies with Spacey playing the pivotal role in each. American Beauty turned him into a Best Actor. Then came the crap. Pay It Forward, K-Pax, Shipping News. The Life of David Gale, his latest film, died at the Box Office and should be showing on an airplane near you. I know we will probably never see as good of a character as Verbal Kint, but it would be nice to see him in a good movie for a change.

The Boston Globe has a more fleshed out criticism of Mr. Spacey's career.

Taking a Stand

Robin Cook, the Leader of the British House of Commons, resigned his post yesterday to protest his government's actions in Iraq.

Below is an excerpt of his speech. Remember when reading this that this is from a man who was in a position to know of which he speaks. It is not mere speculation. Full text is at cnn.com.

Ironically, it is only because Iraq's military forces are so weak that we can even contemplate its invasion. Some advocates of conflict claim that Saddam's forces are so weak, so demoralized and so badly equipped that the war will be over in a few days. We cannot base our military strategy on the assumption that Saddam is weak and at the same time justify pre-emptive action on the claim that he is a threat.

Iraq probably has no weapons of mass destruction in the commonly understood sense of the term�namely a credible device capable of being delivered against a strategic city target. It probably still has biological toxins and battlefield chemical munitions, but it has had them since the 1980s when US companies sold Saddam anthrax agents and the then British Government approved chemical and munitions factories. Why is it now so urgent that we should take military action to disarm a military capacity that has been there for 20 years, and which we helped to create? Why is it necessary to resort to war this week, while Saddam's ambition to complete his weapons programme is blocked by the presence of UN inspectors?

Only a couple of weeks ago, Hans Blix told the Security Council that the key remaining disarmament tasks could be completed within months. I have heard it said that Iraq has had not months but 12 years in which to complete disarmament, and that our patience is exhausted. Yet it is more than 30 years since resolution 242 called on Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories. We do not express the same impatience with the persistent refusal of Israel to comply. I welcome the strong personal commitment that the Prime Minister has given to middle east peace, but Britain's positive role in the middle east does not redress the strong sense of injustice throughout the Muslim world at what it sees as one rule for the allies of the US and another rule for the rest.

Nor is our credibility helped by the appearance that our partners in Washington are less interested in disarmament than they are in regime change in Iraq. That explains why any evidence that inspections may be showing progress is greeted in Washington not with satisfaction but with consternation: it reduces the case for war.

What has come to trouble me most over past weeks is the suspicion that if the hanging chads in Florida had gone the other way and Al Gore had been elected, we would not now be about to commit British troops.





The divine right of wing-dings

When to go to the Hospital

I sometimes forget that some of you may actually be looking for this kind of information.

You should go to a hospital's Emergency Department if any of the following occur along with sciatica.

The pain is unbearable, despite trying first-aid methods as described in the Home Care section.
The pain follows a violent injury, such as a fall from a ladder or an automobile crash.
The pain is in the back of your chest.
You are unable to move or feel your legs or feet.
You lose control of your bowels or bladder or have numbness in your genitals.
You have a high fever (over 101�F).


For more information, please visit eMedicine. I have found it to be a great source of help.



About the war thing

I don't agree with The Leader about the war with Iraq. I know not all of you share the same opinion. Some of you with websites who link to me have even make very lucid comments about your opinion on your own sites and I respect that. I believe that as Americans we are allowed to disagree on this. I am happy that we are keeping our reciprocal links and allowing this free and public discourse to continue.

Having said that, I read a very disturbing open letter written by Charlie Daniels (Devil Went Down to Georgia) lambasting in the harshest terms those opposed to the war. I also read what I consider to be a brilliant response by a veteran.

I invite you to read it over at Twangzine.



Some new music to start the week

Here are some free and legal mp3 downloads of songs that John Peel has featured on his Radio 1 show recently. All these tracks have been made made available by the bands or record labels themselves, they don't involve Napster or anonymous postings to alt.binaries.sounds or anything like that. The idea is that if you like the track, you'll buy some of their records, which seems pretty sound to me.

Sounds good to me, too.

Yay!

The geniuses that produced the best game ever (Carmageddon) have bought the license to create a game based on Reservoir Dogs.

Reservoir Dogs will initially be released by SCi on Sony Playstation 2 and Microsoft Xbox. The game design will remain faithful to the original movie with gamers able to play all the key characters, including the infamous Mr Blonde. There will be the opportunity to take on the role of key policemen, plus take part in large multi-player games. As well as significant amount of combat action involved in the heist itself, which is described in the movie as a �bullet festival�, the game will also include a number of highly charged driving escape sequences.

I am once again filled with glee.

I bet the germans didn't think they were evil, either

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Explosive Decompression and Vacuum Exposure

A frequently asked question is: how realistic is the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where astronaut Bowman makes a space-walk without a helmet? How long could a human survive if exposed to vacuum? Would you explode? Would you survive? How long would you remain conscious?

The quick answers to these questions are: Clarke got it about right in 2001. You would survive about a ninety seconds, you wouldn't explode, you would remain conscious for about ten seconds.

...this discussion covers the effect of vacuum exposure only. The decompression event itself can have disasterous effects if the person being decompressed makes the mistake of trying to hold his or her breath. This will result in rupturing of the lungs, with almost certainly fatal results. There is a good reason that it is called "explosive" decompression.

Homer Simpson Collector's Trivia Tin
- Only $6.98!



A decade's worth of outrageous story lines, and funny, intelligent writing has garnered a loyal following for The Simpsons--and no character on the show has been more popular than the TV family's patriarch, Homer J. Simpson. But after watching those hundreds of episodes and spending millions of brain cells remembering all that trivia, what are Simpsons fans to do with their extra time? To the rescue comes this Homer-specific trivia game packed in a handy tin case. The questions are divided into five difficulty levels, though even the easy questions presuppose a deep knowledge of Simpson lore. Players will soon discover that in the game's multiple choice questions, the funniest answer is always correct. The directions for actual gameplay can get a bit confusing, and, though the setup allows people of various levels of expertise to play together, this won't be much fun for non-Simpsons fans. Hardcore fans will have a blast just reading the well-researched questions. The collectable tin case, shaped like Homer's head, is eye-catching on a bookcase or shelf, and an included miniposter featuring some 300 characters makes for an attractive wall hanging, too.

I have had back surgeries and this site helps to distract me from the pain. When I am finding cool sites and ranting, I feel better.

Would acupuncture help with the symptoms of sciatica or would any other complementary medical solutions be worth considering?

I have found it helpful to do the stretching exercises my physical therapist recommends. Do some core strengthening exercises, such as the ones highlighted at The Mayo Clinic. By keeping your core strong, your back won't put itself in a position to cause that sciatica pain you are having.

This book, Back Pain: What You Need to Know (Johns Hopkins), is very good and inexpensive; regardless of what the review on amazon says.

Good luck and try to stay off the pills (unless you really, really need them!)
