| Religion of Peace, my a**. How can any person of humane spirit demand we walk away and leave the creatures who murder pediatricians and minefield sweepers to win? Baghdad, June 24 VOI - Iraqi Police said that unknown gunmen killed the director of the Children's Hospital in the Mansour area of Baghdad today. A police source told the Independent News (Voices of Iraq) that "assassins killed Dr Ahmad Shehab, director of the Central Children Hospital, in an armed attack in Al-Mansour" located west of the capital. He pointed out that the armed men "fled to an unknown destination," saying that the security forces "opened an investigation into the incident to identify the perpetrators and the party that stands behind them." The Iraqi Ministry of Health earlier spoke of a a sharp deterioration of the health situation due to a campaign of assassinations and death threats targeting Iraqi doctors, many of whom have fled abroad the ministry. The ministry reports that of the 34,000 Iraqi doctors, more than half have fled the country or taken refuge in Kurdistan in northern Iraq. |

| #6 Did you ever read/see the movie The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis? Wonderful children's book/movie, and the start of a series (the books, anyway), full of all sorts of wonderful adventures and character building moral choices. The final book entitled, appropriately enough, The Last Battle, is about the final armageddon battle in the magical land of Narnia. In it Aslan the Lion, who we discover is the Christ figure in this volume, says that those who did good in the name of the Satan figure 'twere as if they'd it for the love of Aslan; those who'd done evil in his name, 'twere as if they'd done so for the favour of Satan. I can't speak for you Christians, of course, but it seems to me a loving God would see it so. (It doesn't hurt that Professor Lewis was somewhat of an amateur theologian, who also published a number of Christian apologetics and a charming tale about one of Satan's minor imps called The Screwtape Letters, which shaped some of my own thinking.) |

| #5 Animals. Nothing but phreaking animals. Our society has to realize this. This realization is not nice as it dehumanizes them. But so what, they demonstrate their utter lack of humanity every day. They must be eradicated and so must the ideology that spawned them. Rest in peace doctor. I'll bet it came as a bit of a surprise when you got to heaven and found out the religion you probably followed was a scam. Given your profession though, I'll bet you had more than an inkling before that. |

| #4 Perhaps they are trying to increase the load on the American forces to divert resources from fighting to medical care, etc. |

| #2 Glenmore, the drug is a by-product of a parasite that has been largely forgotten, but it is in its recurrent comeback. As for Bush, he's tired. |

| #1 You may have noticed a pattern to my postings of late. Documented examples of the utter evilness of our enemy which receive virtually no exposure in our media. How can our elite 'leaders' continue to ignore this? How can they say "we can't win", when the truth is 'we may not win because we choose not to try'? And why would we choose not to try? Because our so-called leaders choose not to lead. Bush actually made the point back in September 2001 - 'If you're not with us, you're against us' - but he seems to have forgotten. What awful drug is being put in the water supplies of Washington DC and our universities? |
