I gotta say Osama played George like a fiddle-dee-dummy....I mean the fact that we toss out an "oppressive regime" in Afghanistan, and then we turn our backs on these people who have an obvious true sense of loyalty....then we invade another country, Iraq, which rapidly consumes our resources as well as those of Iraq itself...Bush thought we could walk in, take Baghdad and everything would be hunky dory...only to find you have marched rapiudly into the enemy's heart...Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan the people are thinking, "See, fucked again...(i guess they can curse in ISlam...Aqil did it alot in his book)' and they are getting restless. Why should they trust anything democratic or even the concept of "freedom"?....We are failing to understand the culture of these people, Iraqi or Afghan..and it is not winning us friends in either area....Now the question should be, who is man enough to admit that the government as a whole, and on nearly every point, fucked up by going into Iraq...who will stand up and say, "you know what, we all fucked up....now we need to do our best to clean it up."...but it is a sticky balance right now. I am not sure if people are even paying enough attention to what is going on other than listening a few minutes a day to FOX news or CNN....which makes me wonder if anyone cares about this war as a whole much less about whether Binny lead Bush by the ring of his nose right into it. The people as a whole are subject only to mass media opinion. In turn, this often makes it difficult for people to think for themselves....
Didn't anybody's Pappa/Mamma try and teach them how to become friends, in spite of differences?? Oh and can anyone say CLUSTERFUCK?

Passion is necessity. It is not diligence, or simply being committed to a goal. Passion consumes you while you chase down your goal. Passion should always be your natural state of mind for it is what sparks momentum and sets the pace.
