I like it. You're welcome to visit my journal anytime. Keep on truckin' -Philhttp://rateyourmusic.com/yaccs/commentsn?blog_id=90000019096&blog_entry_id=90042179#71... Rebecca Sands 08042003 03:22 PM- (Found July 15, 2008 ) Hey Mark, It seems a little weird to say 'how's it going' after all this time and everything. I heard about your web site from various people and thought I'd check it out . When are you going to be in Wpg. next I'd love to catch up.

While I take the point about the irony of war, I truly believe that removing guys like this, violently if necessary, removes major obstacles to freedom and peace. Sometimes its enough to send aid, sometimes it enough to send mediators, other times you need diplomats and aid workers with &39;guys with guns&39; to protect them; and sometimes...http://rateyourmusic.com/yaccs/commentsn?blog_id=90000019096&blog_entry_id=1059128227#... bryce 07252003 07:50 AM- (Found July 15, 2008 ) These pictures do not desensitise because they are too sensational. They do not tell of war, they tell of the assisination of two people. I find myself not making the connection between the brutality of these deaths and the brutality of war. And I question how the ordinary person will make the connection either. The publishing of these pictures is hypocritical as well. When the pictures of the live POWs were broadcast on Iraqi TV, it was certainly done as propaganda. The Iraqis said that it...http://rateyourmusic.com/yaccs/commentsn?blog_id=90000019096&blog_entry_id=1059128227#... Rebecca Sands 08042003 04:06 PM- (Found July 15, 2008 ) It seems kind of strange saying 'how's it going" after all this time and everything. When are you going to be in Wpg.
