"Shane ... Shane ... come back!"

The film Shane famously ends with Shane riding off after he's been shot in the climactic gunfight.
We all joined little Joey in that sentiment..didn't we?
If only Shane could have stayed.
Think Al Gore.
Shot down by five felonious "justices".
Riding off into the sunset.
Shane...come back!

"Truth and reality exist independent of man's mythological, religious, metaphysical and paranormal beliefs---"belief" does not necessarily equate to "truth". I believe that love, kindness, compassion, tolerance, and peace can be implanted in the psyche of man only when fear, paranormal illusion and ignorance are removed. We can then shift our attention more to matters of peace, rather than to matters of war. Man may then face the truth and reality of himself and his position in the universe and he can hope to realize that the meaning of life is dependent upon the unfolding of human powers to give life meaning. I believe it is in our power to achieve Peace on Earth, and I have hope that we will, with time, evolve the knowledge and wisdom to do so!"

"YEAH...RIGHT!" QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"As for the reaction of the Arab "street," the Middle East expert Professor Fouad Ajami predicts that after liberation, the streets in Basra and Baghdad are "sure to erupt in joy in the same way the throngs in Kabul greeted the Americans." Extremists in the region would have to rethink their strategy of Jihad."

IRAN DOESN'T BELIEVE THE US WILL ATTACK IT

"Berlin - Iran does not believe the United States will attack it although it does think Washington has demonised Tehran unjustly, Iranian Foreign Minister
Kamal Kharrazi told a German magazine.
"Unlike Iraq under Saddam we are not a dictatorship, but a democracy. Furthermore we are not disregarding any international laws. So we are not
worried about being the next victim of a military strike," Kharrazi told Der Spiegel magazine in an interview released on Saturday."

HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU BELIEVE IT?

"Ari Fleischer, Bush's press secretary, said during his daily press briefing Tuesday that Iran hasn't taken the appropriate steps to round up al Qaeda
terrorists allegedly hiding out within its borders. Moreover, Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons puts the U.S. in grave danger. Therefore, regime change is in order."

AND HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE REGIME CHANGE WILL BE ACHIEVED?

"The United States will not pursue deterrence or containment policies in its so-called war on terrorism but would instead seek to utterly destroy
its enemies, said US Vice-President Dick Cheney."

THE BIRTH OF THE ENABLING OF AMBITIONS
OF U.S. NEOCONSERVATIVE EMPIRE
WAS USHERED IN BY TERROR----
A TRIFECTA WAS "HIT"

"Cheney noted that the attacks of September 11, 2001, marked
the birth of the
"Bush doctrine" that any country supporting or harbouring terrorists was as guilty as the terrorists themselves."

DO YOU ACTUALLY DOUBT BUSH WILL GET A WAR ON WITH IRAN...AND SOON?

"The State of the Union address marked the maturation of the Bush Doctrine. This war, according to the president, has "two great objectives." The first is defeating terrorism. The second objective, marking the most significant declaration by an American president in almost 20 years, is an unequivocal rejection of the international status quo. "The United States of America," said President Bush, "will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."
And President Bush singled out three regimes, North Korea, Iran and Iraq, as enemies; they constitute an "axis of evil" that poses "a grave and growing danger." Nor will he "stand by, as peril draws closer and closer." Time, he said, "is not on our side." The president is thus willing to act preemptively and, if need be, unilaterally. This is a matter of American self-defense.
The Bush Doctrine seeks to eliminate these weapons **UH-WHAT WEAPONS?** and the
dictatorial regimes that would use them **OH-LIKE SADDAM USED THEM IN THIS WAR?** ...."

"...The president also seeks to challenge tyranny in general. "No nation is exempt......"

DORGAN PREDICTS CONGRESS WILL OVERTURN FCC DECISION TO LIFT OWNERSHIP LIMITS
He says FCC’s decision is “dumb” and “dangerous”

“This is the fastest, most complete cave-in to corporate interests I’ve ever seen by what is supposed to be a federal regulatory agency,” Dorgan said. “This decision advances big corporate interests, and does so at the expense of the public interest. It is a decision that chooses concentration over competition.”

"Colin Powell, US secretary of state, said "it wasn't a figment of anyone's imagination" that Iraq possessed WMD. "There was no doubt in my mind as I went through the intelligence that the evidence was overwhelming," Mr Powell said in Rome, before heading to the Middle East."

"...The Senate Intelligence Committee is likely to hold a public hearing this month to examine the administration's use of intelligence..."
