rodney king and other sundry rants

speaking of rodney king,he was just locked up again after another joy ride...it is an utter miracle that this moron hasn`t killed several people(that we are aware of)while doing his indy 500 imitations time and again while slobber knockered... ...what a disgusting piece of putrilage...

on the other issue,it was interesting to see how the iraqi citizens valued the artifacts of 7,000 years mesopotamian civilization....they rushed to the national museum to collect over 50,000 items and make sure they are safely kept for future generations of iraqi`s to cherish and hold .....very noble......they obviously are not responsible for their own behavior.....as most criminals in the u.s. are no longer responsible for their actions(maybe the westernization is starting already?)...as a matter of fact,nobody is accountable for anything anymore...grades mean nothing...a "d" is just a "b" without it`s belt on... .job performance appraisals are now so generic,they are meaningless...walk into a mall and watch the kids go berserk as the parents barely notice.....

was watching a show as arab journalists admitted that they were happy saddam was gone....then lamented and lambasted the fact that the u.s. should not have been the ones to undertake this effort......what`s it been?....35 years since saddam took power......what is the gestation period for dictators in the middle east?....i know the good people of the middle east were going to get around to rectifying the situation at some point.....

interesting times we live in..the tail actually is wagging the dog.....the russians and french sign u.n. resolution after u.n. resolution regarding embargos and sanctions and it turns out that they are actually violating the very resolutions that they signed on to.....missiles,advisers,training,oil sales,russia spying on britain as putin shakes hands with tony blair .....

why is anyone surprised we took matters into our own hands....


and my, oh,my....there`s abu abbas taking his retirement in baghdad.....maybe we`ll let italy have him again so they can let him go again....and,thanks yemen....we know that really was an escape ......


.the bizarro world.....

remember a joke about the burning down of a library but it escapes me for the time being.

However, my point is: how would our own societies have reacted in these times of lawlessness?
The answer is fairly simple: We would have reacted in exactly the same way: Kill all the women and rape all the cattle.
OK it's a fairly simplistic way of expressing it but nevertheless pretty much a direct way of describing our basic instincts.

Interesting to see on the TV news then, that many of the Iraqi looters had begun to deliver their booty back to its rightful owner and when asked why, the general reply was "'cos they fear Allah"

Who do we relate to?

I have loads of possibilities but they're all flippant.

am now hearing that much of the looting was done by pro`s.....so maybe it was professional thievery as opposed to mob thievery....one of the archaeological digests(i forget which one),indicated that the staff at the iraq national museum had an evacuation plan to remove all of the important artifacts if given 24 hours notice.....what happened?......there was surely 24 hours notice before the troops hit baghdad.....methinks that greed may be universal......may have been a payoff to leave access to "the goods".....or maybe the stuff was secured and this is a political ploy to make the west look terrible....far fetched?....maybe.....and the coalition forces were nowhere near baghdad

...

by the way,i fear allah,too....
