War Nerd / Some progress / UN and USA / World calling Helsinki
In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity. Konrad Adenauer
This incident was at least 3 times more criminal, cowardly, and disgusting than the 7/7-bombing in London. It was a terrorist act by regular military, an ultimate example of state supported terrorism. I just hope some high level heads will begin to roll, figuratively, soon enough.
And besides: Saddam is on trial for killing innocent civilians in villages. He was put on trial by the USA. By analogy, it would be Mr. Bush to stand accused in this new case.
Again, I beg my American readers to dethrone the self-declared king of Washington. Or, maybe both California and the New England can break free from the union?
Somehow, I would risk giving more money and authority to the UN. Maybe a better UN could have prevented, or made unnecessary also US-domestic politically, the illegal and costly was in Iraq. But wait, it is the CEO president a'la Enron and others.

War Nerd
For those interested in military issues and history, War Nerd's blog is quite interesting thing to follow. The others may well check out Salon.com. Now I am off to the party.Some progress
The US marines are learning. They understood, that just torturing Iraqis is not going to do it. It is much better to adopt the old Western habit of shooting first and answering to questions of the military court later. As we all know, the court will be lenient, find mitigating circumstances, and protect the leaders up in the command chain. This is the only explanation for slaughtering 24 civilians , unarmed, peaceful, women and children.This incident was at least 3 times more criminal, cowardly, and disgusting than the 7/7-bombing in London.

UN and USA
The moustached ambassador of USA has spoken at UN. He just stopped short of threatening with withdrawal of US funding. His not-that-clever comrades in the republican party are not that shy. One of them finds it scandalous that US gives $3 billion to the UN annually. It is clearly too much, about the bill of occupying Iraq for a week to two.Somehow, I would risk giving more money and authority to the UN. Maybe a better UN could have prevented, or made unnecessary also US-domestic politically, the illegal and costly was in Iraq. But wait, it is the CEO president a'la Enron and others.
World calling Helsinki
The world is calling Helsinki. Two days full of music, food, books, friends, sun. Now, I have to take the book Secret of Happiness, a hike around the bushes and squares, and after 50 pages to see how the world is doing up here in the north. Reports to follow, later.Alun perin julkaistu kuukausikoosteessa "Blogs March to June 2006".
