I'm sorry my darlings, I've neglected you so. I've got about 5 posts half written that need improving and updating as some are news-related and now innaccurate.
So what for now? There's some serious shit going on right now, what with Iraq, Glasgow, all that. Glasgow is another matter that I don't know enough about to comment on, it so far seems to have been a tragic accident and official figures aren't out yet, so, another time.
But in the meantime, what drives one human being to torture another in the way that we're seeing daily in Iraq? And why weren't the American public more outraged when they first came out? It took a whole fortnight for them to make front-page news. What the fuck is going on? Ordered to kill and humiliate prisoners? Does Geneva mean nothing to them? They probably don't even realise it's a place in Switzerland.
And it isn't just the US, Britain is to blame as well. Mowing down civilians because they were in the way? Bloody hell, what's happening to us?
People were horrified by the stories and pictures that came out from the concentration camps after the war. Prisoners forced to strip and walk naked to the gas chambers, their hair used to stuff sofas and their skin to make lampshades. Tell me how these pictures of torture are any better.
There is no peace in war, it's an oxymoron. Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity (that's a quote, I wish I'd thought of it). How many more stories of torture are we going to hear from other war zones?
And will the presidential elections be fixed again this year?
