"Going to war without France is like going deer
hunting without an
accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy
baggage."
- Jed Babbin (Former US Under-secretary of
Defense)
People are more violently opposed to fur than to
leather because it's safer to
harass rich women than motorcycle
gangs.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing
again
While waiting in the reception room for my first appointment
with a new
dentist, I noticed his diploma, which bore his
full name. Suddenly, I
remembered that a tall, handsome boy
with the same name had been in my high
school class some 45
years ago.
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly
discarded any thought
that he might have been my classmate. This
balding,
gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was much too
old to
have gone to school with me.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if
he had attended
the local high school. "Yes," he replied.
"When did
you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "1957."
"Why, you were in
my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely and then asked, "What
did you teach?"
A MESSAGE FROM ENGLAND
No matter what your views on President
Bush's
statement of upcoming war, this, from an English
journalist, is
very interesting. Just a word of
background for those of you who aren't
familiar with
the UK's Daily Mirror. This is a notoriously
left-wing daily
that is normally not supportive of the
Colonials across the
Atlantic.
Tony Parsons ... Daily Mirror ... September 11, 2002
One
year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of
broadcasting -- the mass
murder of thousands, live on
television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty
of
the human race, September 11 was up there with Pol
Pot's Mountain of
Skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal
bodies stacked like garbage in the Nazi
concentration
camps.
An unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and
so
utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on
one thing -
nobody deserves this fate. Surely there
could be consensus: The victims were
truly innocent,
the perpetrators truly evil.
But to the world's
eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly
seen as America's comeuppance.
Incredibly,
anti-Americanism has increased over the last year.
There
has always been a simmering resentment to the
USA in this country; too loud,
too rich, too full of
themselves, and so much happier than Europeans --
but
it has become an epidemic. And it seems incredible to
me. More than
that, it turns my stomach.
America is this country's greatest friend and
our
staunchest ally. We are bonded to the US by culture,
language and
blood. A little over half a century ago,
around half a million Americans died
for our freedoms,
as well as their own. Have we forgotten so soon?
And
exactly a year ago, thousands of ordinary men, women
and children --
not just Americans, but from dozens of
countries -- were butchered by a small
group of
religious fanatics. Are we so quick to betray them?
What
touched the heart about those who died in the
Twin Towers and on the planes,
was that we recognized
them. Young fathers and mothers, somebody's son
and
somebody's daughter, husbands, wives, and children,
some
unborn.
And these people brought it on themselves? Their
nation is to
blame for their meticulously planned
slaughter?
These days you don't
have to be some dust-encrusted
nut job in Kabul or Karachi or Finsbury Park
to see
America as the Great Satan. The anti-American
alliance is made up
of self-loathing liberals who
blame the Americans for every ill in the Third
World,
and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter
that the
world's only superpower can do what it likes
without having to ask
permission.
The truth is that America has behaved with
enormous
restraint since September 11.
Remember ... remember ...
remember ... the
gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives
to
say, "I love you," before they were burned alive.
Remember those people
leaping to their deaths from the
top of burning skyscrapers. Remember the
hundreds of
firemen buried alive.
Remember the smiling face of that
beautiful little
girl who was on one of the planes with her
mum.
Remember ... remember ...
And realize that America has never
retaliated for 9/11
in anything like the way it could have.
So a few
al-Qaeda tourists got locked up without a
trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the
Kleenex ...
So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after
they
merrily fired their semi-automatics in a sky full
of American planes? A
shame, but maybe next time they
should stick to confetti.
AMERICA
could have turned a large chunk of the world
into a parking lot. That it
didn't is a sign of
strength. American voices are already being
raised
against attacking Iraq -- that's what a democracy is
for. How many
in the Islamic world will have a
minute's silence for the slaughtered
innocents of
9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to
say that
the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination?
When the news of 9/11 broke
on the West Bank, those
freedom-loving Palestinians were dancing in
the
street. America watched all of that -- and didn't
push the button. We
should thank the stars that
America is the most powerful nation in the world.
I
still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke
all-out war. Not a
"war on terrorism." A real war.
The fundamentalist dudes are talking
about "opening
the gates of hell" if America attacks Iraq. Well,
America
could have opened the gates of hell like you
wouldn't believe.
The US
is the most militarily powerful nation that
ever strode the face of the
earth. The campaign in
Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and
the
planned war on Iraq may be misconceived.
But don't blame America
for not bringing peace and
light to these wretched countries. How
many
democracies are there in the Middle East, or in the
Muslim world? You
can count them on the fingers of
one hand -- assuming you haven't had any
chopped off
for minor shoplifting.
I love America, yet America is
hated. I guess that
makes me Bush's poodle.
But I would rather be a
dog in New York City than a
Prince in Riyadh. Above all, America is hated
because
it is what every country wants to be -- rich, free,
strong, open,
optimistic. Not ground down by the
past, or religion, or some caste system.
America is
the best friend this country ever had and we should
start
remembering that.
Or do you really think the USA is the root of
all
evil? Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women
who leaped to
their death from the burning towers.
Tell it to the nursing mothers whose
husbands died on
one of the hijacked planes, or were ripped apart in
a
collapsing skyscraper. And tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose
husbands worked for the New York Fire Department.

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age
Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:
I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the
garage, I notice that
there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through
the mail before
I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the
junk mail
in the trashcan under the table, and notice that the trashcan is
full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table
and take out the trash
first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near
the mailbox when I
take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills
first.
I take my checkbook off the table, and see that
there is only one check
left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so
I go to my desk
where I find the bottle of soda that I had been
drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I
need to push the soda
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see
that the soda is
getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the
refrigerator to keep
it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the soda, a
vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye-they need to be watered. I set
the soda down on
the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've
been searching
for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk, but
first I'm going to
water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the
counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.
Someone left it
on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to
watch TV, we
will be looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that
it's on
the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where
it
belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of
it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some
towels and wipe
up the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying to remember
what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the
bills aren't paid,
there is a warm bottle of soda sitting on the counter, the
flowers
aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I
can't
find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what
I
did with the car keys.
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got
done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and
I'm really tired. I
realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get
some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

A Tale of Two Billionaires ...
http://website.lineone.net/~mystacy/Jokes/osama/osamabillionaires.html
Two
men, both billionaires.
One develops relatively cheap software and gives
hundreds of
millions of dollars to charity.
The other sponsors
terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that the US government
has
spent more time and money chasing down Bill Gates over the
past ten
years than Osama bin Laden?"
Haunting Memories Of Osama
http://website.lineone.net/~mystacy/Jokes/osama/osama.html
My
friend is in the Air National Guard and I received
this forwarded e-mail from
him:
You know, it's funny! I remember very vividly the
Oliver North
hearings, but did not recall the name of
Osama bin Laden as the terrorist
that North was
threatened by. Has this slime ball been around that
long? It's pretty evident, in hindsight that we should
have listened to
Ollie!
I was at the UNC lecture the other day where they played
a
video of Oliver North during the Iran-Contra deals
during the Reagan
administration. I was surprised by
this particular clip.
There was
Ollie in front of God and Country getting the
third degree. But what he
said stunned me. He was
being drilled by some senator who asked
him;
"Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home
security
system?"
Oliver replied, "Yes I did sir."
The senator continued, trying to
get a laugh out of the
audience, "Isn't this just a little
excessive?"
"No sir," continued Oliver.
"No. And why not?"
"Because the
life of my family and I were threatened."
"Threatened? By who?"
"By a
terrorist, sir."
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you
that much?"
"His name is Osama bin Laden."
At this point the
senator tried to repeat the name, but
couldn't pronounce it, which most
people back then
probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the
attempt. Then the senator continued. "Why are you so
afraid of this
man?"
"Because sir, he is the most evil person alive that I
know
of."
"And what do you recommend we do about him?"
"If it were me I would
recommend an assassin team be
formed to eliminate him and his men from the
face of the
earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach and that was
all they showed of the clip.
It's scary when you think 15 years ago
the government
was aware of Osama bin Laden and his potential threat to
the security of the world. I guess like all great
tyrants they start
small but if left unattended spread
like the virus they truly are.

He's coming
A husband
and wife were playing golf on the ninth green when she collapsed from a heart
attack.
"Please dear, I need some help" she said.
The husband
ran off saying "I'll go get help".
A little while late he returned,
picked up his club and began to line up his shot on the green. His wife, still
on the ground, raised up her head and asked "I may be dying and you're putting?"
"Don't worry dear. I found a doctor on the second hole who said he would
come and help." "The second hole?" she replied "When is he coming?" "Hey! I told
you not to worry." he said, practice stroking his putt. "Everyone's already
agreed to let him play through."

~~LYNN~~
Bob and Jim were getting ready for the company awards dinner for the best
salesman. Bob was in the running to win an award that evening and wanted to make
sure he looked his best when he claimed his prize. He felt luck was with him and
was sure to win. He stood in front of the mirror to fix his tie but the mirror
was crooked, so he reached over to straighten it out and it came crashing down
on the floor.
"Oh no," said Bob. "Now I am going to have seven years bad
luck."
"Nonsense," said Jim. My uncle once broke a mirror and he didn't
have seven years bad luck."
"Really?" said Bob, feeling much better
knowing that.
"Yeah really," said Jim. "He died that day."
I was trying to get my seventh-grade history class to
understand how the
Indians must have felt when they
first encountered the Spanish explorers.
"How would
you feel," I asked, "if someone showed up on your
doorstep who
looked very different, spoke a strange
language and wore unusual clothes?
Wouldn't you be
a bit scared?"
"Nah," one boy answered, "I'd just
figure it was my
sister's date."
