Whoa there, hombre! Re: your Jihad friend... Ahem, I hate to burst your bubble here, Mq, but I'm agin' all theocratic fascists. I'm an equal opportunity "hater" hated.com of the Jihadists and the Bushista junta. In my fantasy script on how to save the world, we take away the Korans from the 700 illegally detained combatants in Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and put copies of the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers on their nightstands. Within a couple of years, they all convert to secular humanism, embrace modern technology and mores and invade Washington, casting the infidels into remedial coursework on democracy. OTOH, it seems that the script writers have been really busy on the followup to Spielberg's most excellent WW II adventure film. The Operation Iraqi Freedom sequel is going to be called "Saving Private Lynch". The entire fictionalized story has already been written, and just needs a little polishing: A recent story in the London Times titled "So Who Really Did Save Private Jessica?" is described on Democracy Now: <COPY> The rescue of Private Jessica Lynch, which inspired America during one of the most difficult periods of the war, was not the heroic Hollywood story told by the US military, but a staged operation that terrified patients and victimised the doctors who had struggled to save her life, according to Iraqi witnesses. Doctors at al-Nasiriyah general hospital said that the airborne assault had met no resistance and was carried out a day after all the Iraqi forces and Baath leadership had fled the city. Four doctors and two patients, one of whom was paralysed and on an intravenous drip, were bound and handcuffed as American soldiers rampaged through the wards, searching for departed members of the Saddam regime. An ambulance driver who tried to carry Private Lynch to the American forces close to the city was shot at by US troops the day before their mission. Far from winning hearts and minds, the US operation has angered and hurt doctors who risked their lives treating both Private Lynch and Iraqi victims of the war. "What the Americans say is like the story of Sinbad the Sailor - it's a myth," said Harith al-Houssona, who saved Private Lynch's life after she was brought to the hospital by Iraqi military intelligence. <END COPY> Listen to the author: stream.realimpact.net Read his article: timesonline.co.uk With your outstanding talents for fiction, I think you'd be a natural for the role at Murdock's 13th Century Fox for "turd world" polishing on this story. To steal a line from MSNBC latest effort to improve the American culture, Michael Savage, of "Savage Nation" infamy. This could be a big break for you, Mq. You're a natural. It is a "White Man's Burden Network Special Presentation"!
