Feb 14 = Invasion Day
No, I know it's not Australia Day. This is a different kind of Invasion Day.
February 14 is St. Valentine's Day: the day we celebrate the invasion of someone else into our life and our reciprocal invasion into theirs, or we spend the day miserable, wishing that we could be annexed.
The US invaded Iraq to "liberate" it. That is, Iraq had many faults - y'know, torture and oppressive dictatorship and so on - so like a meddling girlfriend or controlling boyfriend, they tried to change them for the better.
The result: the place is going to shit. Same thing goes for trying to "save" someone from themself. It only causes problems. Just as a people can only emancipate themselves if they are to be truly free, no one is really changed unless they have some epiphany and change themselves. The US government should hardly complain about the shit it has to deal with as fallout from this disastrous war - they put themselves in that position. See where the analogy is going?
I won't harp on anymore about it, but the mantra for the day that I meditated upon was this:
sorry... i just haven't used marquee in such a long time and felt like adding that little spice of annoyingness
