Just have to post something to get that depressing shit off the screen. Wow, what a downer. Anyway, I'm over it now and everything. Go ahead, slice away. Whatever.
Anyone ever watch Dead Like Me? Good show. Last weeks wasn't that great, but in almost every episode there is a moment of amazing reality. When a couple of characters are just talking at the kitchen table or something, the acting and dialogue and everything combine for a moment that just feels unbelievably real. Like I am watching two real people and not fictional characters. Pretty good.

Well, that was fucking stupid
Today, I watched the video of U.S. contractor Eugene Armstrong getting beheaded. I don't know why except that I just felt like it was something I should watch. I can't say I'm glad I did. I've been sick and depressed since 9:30 am.
Eugene was in an orange jumpsuit. The terrorists were dressed all in black with masks on. One of them read loudly from a script in Arabic, while Eugene knelt in front of him, facing the camera, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and blindfolded with a piece of muslin. When he was done yelling, the terrorist pushed Eugene to the floor on his side. He then took out a knife and started cutting through Eugene's neck, using a sawing motion. Eugene screamed. He screamed until the knife sawed through his vocal cords, I guess, because then it suddenly stopped. I couldn't finish watching it.
I know why Eugene Armstrong went to Iraq. Eugene went to Iraq to work construction. He went there to make alot of money quickly to support his wife and kids. This poor bastard went there to help rebuild an infrastructure we destroyed. And now he is dead. An innocent civilian man rebuilding a country we destroyed for reasons that remain unclear, at best. A man who died so that a group of other men, men who lead our country, could realize their dreams of greed and revenge and religious conquest. This same group of men-of leaders-lied to the American public about why we were going and lie to themselves about the chances for victory.
American armed forces cannot beat these people, the children of Islam. They are willing to die, to send their children to die, for what they believe. They are fanatics who will not stop short of a Nuclear holocaust. That is the truth. If our leaders continue this Crusade, then they too are fanatics. Fanatics who care more for their money or their God then they do their people. That is the truth. The blood of Eugene Armstrong and all those who died before him and all those that are going to die, is on the hands of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice and any who support them. That is the truth. And now I have to believe, knowing what we now know, if you vote for George W. Bush in November, then that same blood is on your hands too. That is the truth.
