Mission (passage and implementation of the oil law in Iraq) *Not* Accomplished!

[rec_report]

Four years later, mission (passage and implementation of the oil law in Iraq) *not* accomplished! But, alas alak, columns of smoke are rising from the Green Zone, so... it's time to announce that an 'al Qaeda leader in Iraq' might be dead (LOL!) and it's an even better time to bring back the Natalee Holloway case! See: New developments could heat up in Natalee Holloway case. They're going to search Joran van der Sloot's yard! --CLG]

4. Why can't these "people" recognize Blasphemy when they see it?

It's popular to call it "hubris" these days, a euphamism that hides a deeper intoxication. The difference being that the classic model for hubris, Icarus, made (a machine) wings and flew too close to the sun god's chariot, so he himself suffered for his flaw.

Blasphemy is deeper, because divine intoxication results in actions that force, in one degree or another, others to suffer for your flaw. Experimenting with other people's food production is a manifestation of blasphemy.
