Bumper Sticker Police: War is not the Answer
http://www.pjtv.com/video/Klavan_on_culture/Bumper_Sticker_Police/2011/
My favorite idiot bumper stickers are “Food (or Healthcare) for People, not for Profit.” I don’t see the folks with those stickers investing their 401Ks in hospitals or farm that give away care or food, and pay them nothing back.

My wife and I regularly send packages to deployed Marines and others we know, or whose families we know. These sites will help you “Support the Troops” if you are not already involved. Thanks if you are.

ISLAMABAD, June 15 (KUNA) -- A Pakistani Federal Minister Monday said that militants were using kidnapped children as suicide bombers across the country.

Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik talking to newsmen here said that the militants were buying innocent children for few hundred thousand rupees and using them to carry out suicide attacks.

He further said that the militants are getting weapons and ammunition from Afghanistan, adding that the government of Pakistan has taken up the matter with Afghan President Hamid Karazai.

From a Marine Vietnam vet: Yep, "liberation" has sure paid off for the people of Viet Nam, the "socialist republic" has brought all the peace and prosperity and social justice that the antiwar machine of the 60s&70s proclaimed would come to pass if only imperialist US would leave and the wonderful, benevolent, efficient communist government centered in Hanoi would get rid of all those corrupt South Vietnamese leaders and their systems. Yep, it's a "people's paradise" all right. With economic refugees all over Asia from Viet Nam, Vietnamese women being sold as "brides" in Taiwan, China, Korea, etc, high unemployment, rampant corruption noted by various international agencies, and suppression of any and all forms of dissent by a wonderfully efficient police and court system that can convict anyone they like of some nice all-purpose charge like "anti-revolutionary activities" etc.

I'm still waiting for Jane Fonda and that whole crowd to notice that things haven't quite worked out the way they were so totally, arrogantly sure they would, in their so righteous battle against our support of the South. Or for the NY Times to print a story like this one on the front page, or maybe for John Kerry to contribute some of his many millions (or his wife's, to be more precise) to economic aid to the poor villages of Viet Nam, or the overcrowded orphanages, or maybe build a series of free clinics for poor people. (Pardon me, I like to engage in pure fantasy from time to time.) –Del
