Well only 16 days till Christmas!!!! Woohoo, I luv Christmas, chance to be with family and friends :)

Well found this really interesting article at Consortium News which talks about how Bush and his cronies are trying to apply what they did in S America (death squads, overthrowing democractially elected leaders, supporting vicious fascist dicatorships) in Iraq, but this time they have been unsuccesful since there is no military to speak off (to keep order) and no backbone, nothing to plan on, which has made the task of running Iraq that little bit more harder, bad long term planning!
