Shaving Cream
On the day, yet, another car bomb exploded in
Baghdad, I forgot to buy shaving cream and had to go back to the shop; there is weariness about bad news from
Iraq. I also forgot to buy a litre of milk and a goat cheese.
Four thousand
US troops killed, which, after five years of war, as an amazing small number; but then, this is a war where civilians get to do the dying. Six hundred thousand or a million dead Iraqis? No one knows, but it might end up as being as great a crime as the holocaust:
Was it five or six million Jews who perished? This is a number that concerns deniers greatly, who are of the opinion that only about 2oo Jews died, regrettably of typhus, on a train journey between
Poland and
Russia.
What we do know, is that the holocaust was worst criminal act known to man; it’s therefore an eternal shame that
Israel uses this tragedy to silence us when they continue to unlawfully take more of Palestinian land
It is much easier to take up
Tibet’s cause, isn’t strange that the riots it happens know as the Olympic in
Beijing looms? Forget
Iraq and the
Gaza strip, where our hands are bloodied; this new cause will make us feel morally superior
