The world we live in - 2

Ryan Crocker, the current U.S. ambassador to Iraq, says Word in Iraq is 'fear'.

Here too... my friend...here too! I just read this very encouraging (NOT!) article... expected perhaps but still very scary to hear confirmation of the same! How the actions of a few men have made the world unsafe for a long long time!

Iraq hasn't even begun - Consequences from the disaster we could have avoided will plague the world long into the future.

Meanwhile, news from Iraq is that the force of the terrorist leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi - provacateur and head of the Islamic State in Iraq - has been successfully curbed by the US. How? Well.. first they said he was captured in Baghdad on March 9, 2007 but it was later said that the person in question was not Al-Baghdadi. Then, on May 3, 2007, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said that al-Baghdadi was killed by American and Iraqi forces north of Baghdad. And today comes news that ....the reason they never could catch or kill him is........drumroll please...... he never existed!

But worry not....all of the bad news from Iraq is just a figment of your imagination ... just go take this neocon cruise and you'll come back in an alternative world where all is fine and dandy!

The Iraq war has been an amazing success, global warming is just a myth – and as for Guantanamo Bay, it's practically a holiday camp... The annual cruise organised by the 'National Review', mouthpiece of right-wing America, is a parallel universe populated by straight-talking, gun-toting, God-fearing Republicans.

And just in case you are still afraid…there always is the Threat Alert Jesus...

What a world we live in!
