Objecting to the Patriot Act is now criminal behavior punishible by incarceration without legal representation or right to trial.
Sarcasm or grim prediction of future events? You make the call.

Here's a BBC article on Iraqi reaction to the new flag. Not suprisingly, reaction has been largely negative, though there were a few who favored it. Some Iraqis wondered at the Council's sense of priorities.

quote:"This new flag adds to the list - we have a new flag which has similar colour markings to that of the Israeli flag? Coincidence? Highly unlikely!"
Tariq Abdel-Fattah, a Bagdadi living in the US, also notices a similarity which he says "makes me shiver since it resembles the death to Arabs".
It seems that not only is the govorning council focusing on the wrong things, but the Iraqi people as well!
"Similar colors"? Sure: just change the shade of blue, remove the stripes, swap the crescent moon for a star of david....real close.

"Now, if you'd just done that the last time, we wouldn't be in this mess."
Well, not so much so. Bush won Missouri by almost 80 000 votes. Besides, I didn't know at the time that he was a megalomaniac with a messiah complex and delusions of imperialism.
You obviously weren't paying attention to the same reports as everyone else. Silly boy.
Besides, couldn't you claim 80,000 votes, due to your size?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
