Iraq is far from being secure. That much is clear. But I never thought the US forces could not secure a small part of real estate in the capital city, which houses the US Forces HQ, the Iraqi Govenment and places where foreigners frequently visit and live. This is the Green Zone. Now, a security notice has been issued to all military personel:
1) Do not go out alone 2) Don't go out at night 3) Always check your vehicle before getting in 4) Carry many forms of communication 5) Do not go to the chinese restaurant 6) Don't go to the merchant strip
From this description, Bush's rosey scenario of Iraq is dead wrong, and Kerry is right about what's going on.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
