BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A gas tanker truck wired with explosives blew up in a west Baghdad neighborhood today, killing one person, wounding 19 and lighting up the night sky with a fireball, just hours after Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld left the capital.

1. Please. Please. Please.

someone put an end to this madness!!

This is so depressing.

I feel so bad for the Iraqi people. Caught up in a crossfire of greed and ignorance.

2. And I also feel bad about the american people.

Lied to, brainwashed, and taught to hate.

Now they cant even think rationally. Sure, the voting machines stole a lot of votes 11/2, but if the people knew what was happening it just could not have happened.

What a shame. America. What a noble experiment. Too bad it failed.

But Ben Franklin knew it would happen two centuries ago.

"In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other."

3. In the latest poll, most Americans said the Iraq invasion wasn't worth it.

We can put an end to this by the same deep cultural means we used to put an end to the war in Vietnam.
