This first piece, I wrote, as Bush was going to Iraq to celebrate the new Iraqi government, whose installment was highly Americanized. To indicate just how strong the Bush influence is in this new Iraqi government, consider that the new President of Iraq heartily concurred that the Allied invasion,and ongoing devastation, has little or NOTHING to do with increased levels of terrorism in Iraq. Quite the contrary! Here is that article: "Well, Bush has gone to Iraq to welcome the new government that we set up. I always offend the conservatives by using words like "puppet government", but mischievous is my middle name. I hope Bush is happy. It's "mission accomplished' all over again. Iraq really didn't do anything, but their lifestyle displeased Mr. bush. Bush's war is currently costing Eight Billion Dollars per month. The National Debt is now Eight point Three Trillion dollars. Loss of life, heck, I'm still depressed about last weeks news." I really like this next ditty. And it's absolutely true! "Oddly, I really mean every word of this article. I'm naming it in recollection of Paul Simon, who wrote a song about the French Artist, Rene Magritte, and his wife, Georgette, and their dog, "Apres Le Guerre", that's, "After The War". Some mornings, the whole thing just comes together. Since long before the war began, many people have said it was "for oil". But, I just couldn't see it. Now, I see it! When the Arab Nations razed the World trade center, it was a protest against the U.S. and Her allies in their refusal to negotiate in good faith over oil prices. They felt they were being gouged. And they felt we (the allies) had trespassed onto their property when we built up Kuwait, which we did for the oil. The Arab/Muslim Nations are sometimes slow to react; like several generations. That's why they attacked the World Trade center. I just happen to know that. I failed to understand, when Bush wreaked havoc in Iraq, he didn't do it for Halliburton. That was incidental. He just threw a little business their way. What are friends for? As to the loss of life, on both sides, well sometimes a president has to make hard decisions. It a thankless job. Someone has to do it. Here it is! Now, when we negotiate with Iraq, we are negotiating with our pals. people we can talk to. The ones we put there. No more painful haggling, no more histrionics; smooth and easy. One thing about George, he HATES to negotiate! OK, the prices won't change much. We have to be fair and equitable after all. Life goes on. But at least we won't have to endure that Arab mis-demeanor. Mission accomplished!" Finally, with Bill Clinton once again in the news, consider this: Clinton, and Intern, Monica Lewinsky "This posting might seem controversial to some. Perhaps young people might take caution. I received the results of an MSNBC survey from a writer friend of mine which indicated that 83% of those taking an MSNBC survey felt the President, that's, George Bush, should be impeached. The following, an "open letter", is a rewriting of my response. "I had no idea that that many voters felt the impeachment of George Bush is truly justified. The last president in recollection to have faced the prospect of impeachment was Bill Clinton, Democrat, extraordinary. President Clinton faced a barrage of criticism for receiving "some compliments" from a young intern, in the white house, on weekends, holidays, or evenings in the oval office. Stories made mention of some business with a cigar. The cigar inclusion seems to confirm that he didn't return the "compliment". President Clinton was (and is) a leader on the world stage; a man among men. I'm thinking, through out history, have Monarchs, kings, or presidents been "pleasured" in such a way? In truth, we would find it laughable if they weren't. A wimpy, lack-luster leader may be the one who should be ousted. But Clinton is widely criticized! This is so inconsistent! Maybe city people, such as myself, have a differing outlook from our country cousins. this is the only time I've mentioned this particular feeling of mine to anyone, it being, perhaps a little too controversial. BBJ" Have a great day!

It must be very painful to have your fiance in harms way, in Iraq. My son's are both in the military, both stateside, currently. It is necessary to discuss this unjust war. Bush has lied, and has ignored laws of wiretap (which I can understand), and the holding of prisoners (which is intollerable) The absense of truth on the issue of wmd's is beyond impeachable. He should be tried in a court of law.
