Just suffered thru the movie "Ali". Didn't realize it was in real time. The story of the most exciting athlete in history which Hollywood managed to make into a three hour epic of suffering. Makes me want to put my head in a George Foreman grill.

French Alert!! I'm glad we've resolved this issue

News Flash:Human Shields take off their foil helmets and get glimpse of reality:

From UPI:
A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese human shield volunteers made it across the border today with 14 hours of uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government minders present. Kenneth Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told UPI the trip "had shocked me back to reality." Some of the Iraqis he interviewed on camera "told me they would commit suicide if American bombing didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head."

The battle for Iraq is taking our troops over what's believed to be the area where the Garden of Eden was.

Apparently there was stilll one bad apple there.
