Windependence Day
An unknown reader points us to the Windependence Day contest sponsored by DesktopLinux. Cute idea, and I'm sure some people have exciting stories of battling the talking paperclip...

The C.D. Howe Institute.
Is a Rightist, think-tank - they also think taxes should be abolished and Democracy replaced by Market Capitalism...
Listen, The US spends more money on arms then the rest of the planet combined - it is not a 'defender' of anything -telling americans that the rest of the planet "demands US comes and helps" is a PR pile of stink-shit that helps mask the overwhelming offensive nature of your domestic military.
That bullshit is for ignorant Americans, not for the citizens of the 70odd nations who have had USians do battle in their nations since WWII.
The USA is a rogue nation run by Plutocrats with an incredibly apathetic and ignorant populace... and they have an incredibly massive military too boot - just the kind of thing that will lead us to WWIII... under what conditions im not sure, but as long as the hawks run your country, and the citizens are so brazen and aggressive its only a matter of time.
Citizens of Democratic countries the world over need to start demanding a change to this, when bullies also have big sticks someone is going to get whacked. Id like to see a standing UN army replace any 'domestic peacekeepers'. Any army on foriegn soil should be considered an aggressor and should be condemned by the World Public. The US cannot keep trapsing around the globe killing at will and telling their domestic popluation 'we were invited to keep the peace' - this bullshit lead to thousands (from *MANY* nations, not just Americans) that ended up dead in the attack on the WTC.
