Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
A little over five years ago I heard some patriot in Ann Arbor say that Operation Desert Fox meant "There will be no Christmas in Iraq this year." Hopefully that is less true now than it was then even with the problems of the present.
I have no idea how they could reach such a conclusion. Sure they say, "in 2002, the Bush Administration violated the spirit of its own export policy and approved the sale of equipment implicated in torture to Yemen, Jordan, Morocco and Thailand, despite the countries' documented use of such weapons to punish, mistreat and inflict torture on prisoners" but didn't they read His speech or read this Washington Post story by Robin Wright on how the U.S. wants to give power to Iraqis no matter what?

I have no memory of this March 30 Times story by Mark Franchetti, which has been published on the web in quite a few places and reports that U.S. troops killed intentionally killed Iraqi civilians in Nasiriya. I did have other matters on my mind so I must have missed it completely. I wonder what else I've missed.
what a sad moment. Hopefully we can get through this dark period. If you need to cry, please let it out. It is only natural. posted by micah holmquist at 12/24/2003 10:02:00 AM
