Not in our name

The idea that naked force can create human freedom is itself a left-wing idea. Even more socialist are the war faction's contempt for the sovereignty of nations and their unashamed belief that ends justify means. No wonder that the war's hottest-eyed supporters on both sides of the Atlantic are ex-Marxists who have lost their faith but have yet to lose their Leninist tendency to worship worldly power.

Hardly peaceniks, russian intel often intercepts communications from the war front for up to the date information and analysis. The IRAQWAR.RU analytical center was created recently by a group of journalists and military experts from Russia to provide accurate and up-to-date news and analysis of the war against Iraq. The following is the English translation of the IRAQWAR.RU report based on the Russian Army Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) information.

Saw these guys last nite. Good band, tight.

Had an interesting discussion about Iraq with a friend during the show. Often we were shouting to be heard over the din, still shouting when it suddenly became quiet. We would then sheepishly drop our voices among the curious stares of the clubfolk around us (most of whom knew exactly what we were talking about ):

"ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT SOME FEMALE DOCTOR IN IRAN DOESN'T 'GET' DEMOCRACY? THAT IS SO CONDESCENDING AND BORDERLINE racist I can't believe it came out of your mouth."

(brief lull in the Palomar set)

"Oh. So are we supposed to go bomb Iran BOMB IRAN INTO A DEMOCRATIC PARADISE NOW?

"WHAT?"

"I SAID ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BOMB IRAN into a...democratic...paradise..er..now.

Aside from the subject matter, it was rather humorous.

I must say I have been a bit surprised at the amount of out-in-the-open-I-don't-care-if-a-stranger-hears-me 'war talk' I have overheard in the elevators; walking into a store; at a restaurant, etc.
