it’s sunny today. I think later I’ll go outside.

The fact that the Americans are using old Iraqi policemen is telling. they would have been saddam’s enforcers. I think his shows that America is not interested in making Iraq democratic – they seem merely to have replaced one brutal regime with their own.

found a reason to be cheerfull!

I’ve been thinking – what is my place in society? what is my purpose? Am I part of the great social sympathy pot that is disability. I will rely on handouts and help all my life and I hate it. I’m bored of being disabled.

There is, however, one chance. Stem-cells can cure all this – mend damaged tissue. Yet the thick cunts on the religious right have blocked this research, failing to understand that you don’t have to kill foetuses to get stem cells. These people really are stupid: most of them fat and greedy. I despise them.

Something occurred to me yesterday. In 1903 British forces were fighting the Boers in Africa. This was a colonial war, fought to spread British ‘civilisation’ across the planet. 101 years later, America, the new imperial power, is fighting a new colonial war, this time in Iraq..

Have we learned nothing in 100 years of the most bloody century in history? after 50 years of diplomacy, bush has seen fit to return to the ways of empire and the sword. That, I suppose, is the exact calibre of this man – the “Shoot first, ask questions later” logic of the halfwit cowboy. He has, as Vladimir Putting points out, wrecked most of the treaties laid down during the cold war.

those treaties kept the giant asleep. If America continues along its current path, and invades Syria or North Korea, It will wake, and fuck knows what will follow.
