Happy Halloween

My favorite day of the year. I got on the computer, scanned the Yahoo News, and ruined my day.

So don't read this if you'd rather have a war-free day.

One headline says "Two Iraqi Civilians Killed During Protest" but that's not the real story.
The real story is that after an incident at a marketplace (the headline story) US troops moved into an area full of mosques. People came out. Someone started throwing rocks, and someone else started spraying the crowd with bullets. How would you feel if you were gunned down as you exit the church of your choice?

In related news, "al-Qaida Warns of 'Painful Strike' " . They threatened a wave of attacks in US occupied Muslim countries. " Al-Qaida "is getting ready to stage devastating attacks during the month of Ramadan against Americans that will make young boys' hair turn gray," said the e-mail, whose authenticity could not immediately be verified. It added attacks in Iraq were possible."

Three days later, Iraqis were dropping like flies. They're killing their own people to stir up dissent. Actually, I don't think terrorists have a "people". I don't think they give a shit about anyone but themselves.

Enjoy your Halloween. Enjoy your Samhain. This year's dead will be walking some very crowded streets.
