Gulf of Tonkin
A lot of us remember it. Those of you who are too young or too ...whatever -- to know about it; you will be hearing those words being used in comparison to events to happen in the coming weeks.

Bugging Di. Why?
Oh yah, the landmine thing. Can you imagine her praying to Allah five times a day to put an end to landmines? Oh the horror!
Stop copying off me!

Can I sue this guy for something...plagiarism? ;)~ Naw ...I think most likely I'm not the only one who's been flashing on that episode of The Twilight Zone these past few years.

The No Spin Twilight Zone
A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny. ~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The day is coming in America when all of us, regardless of race, creed or color will be equally suspect. Every citizen will have his/her " patriotism" examined. It will no longer be a question of are black people " patriotic" or are muslims. Make no mistake. When someone demands that you condemn this or emphatically embrace that; they are asking you " who's side are you on? "
" Do you want us to win the war? " That question is being asked of those who not only have opposed the Iraq war but even those who criticize the handling of the war.
It's a difficult question to answer for two reasons: #1 Nobody knows anymore what winning in Iraq means. #2 Most people are now realizing what many of us knew from the start; - Saddam was as good as it gets in Iraq. So, we can't win
Try to imagine a family watching the father preparing to jump out of a window. The step-mother is urging the kids to watch daddy fly! The kids are protesting that it is impossible for daddy to fly. She insists that you are a "daddy hater" if you don't join her in this fantasy that daddy can fly. Even as he is only inches from the ground, she claims he will float if only the neighbors (suspected gravity collaborators and the gravity loving media) would shut up!
A recent poll has found, only 9% of americans think the war is winnable. Yet we continue on. I am of the opinion we will expand and escalate the war. If we take this path with the vast majority of the nation opposed to it - the only result can be an entire nation under a microscope of suspicion. We will all be seen as potential enemy sympathizers, collaborators or just plain loathsome " defeatists". That's usually what happens when a small group ( The State) wage war that the larger group (The People) oppose and see as futile.
