   Radley, you sure got some realiable sources here! Your Bush bashing is making you lose your senses. That entire story seems like a load of bunk.

   Are you the new Dan Rather?

   Kerry demonstrated his diplomatic prowess when he debased Mr. Allawi. Despite the numerous attempts on his life Mr. Allawi continues to push for a better life for the Iraqi people but in the end I believed that Mr. Allawi will be assasinated and I believe that he knows this. I doubt very seriously that Allawi is willing to make this sacrifice in order to be a campaign prop for anyone but instead I believe that he is willing to make it for the people of his country but this is an election year and I guess anyone is fair game.

   Our hero Mr Allawi is an opportunist who will earn plenty of cash for his efforts. Who knows, maybe he will become the next dictator in Iraq if he plays his cards well. Yes, one day he might end up locking horns with and RPG and losing, but obviously he is willing to take the chance like all the other security contractors.

   I would never consider him as some kind of an Iraqi patriot trying to better the lives of his people. We don’t get that in ‘real democracies’ from our politicians. How on earth could one hope to find nobility in Iraq’s current crop of scammers? Childish naiveté, is my guess.

   OT:
   I don’t know if TypeKey is busted or is it because I am posting from the depths of the Amazon jungle this week, but after logging in to TypeKey, my posts still don’t end up being posted automatically. What gives?
   BTW, the fish is really tasty here, but the hunter-prey relationship is not always clear… ;-)

   Hey Joker, let me see if I can assist you concerning your last post. I`m not quite sure on this but I think the prey is the innocent animals being slaughtered and if my memory serves me corectly I think the hunter is the coward with the high powered rifle killing them. I may be a little naive concerning this but I think thats how it works. Hope I have been of some assistance.

   manuel,

   You fish with a high-powered rifle? That doesn’t seem to be fair…

   Wow, manuel I didn’t expect so much flame from you. You don’t eat fish I assume. That’s noble. Keep it up. You probably do eat seeds and berries right? That is pretty cruel. Seeds and berries are unborn plants you know. Seeds and berries can’t defend themselves or run away – it takes a special kind of coward to attack inanimate objects and consume them just for the sake of satisfying one’s taste buds you know.
   All things considered, it would be better for those with a highly evolved conscience such as yours, to stop eating altogether and save all the flora and fauna from harm. They all want to live you know.
   ;-)
   On a more serious note, I also believe (just like you) that all the animals I eat are innocent.

   Man, am I glad I donâ??t have issuesâ?¦

   Sorry about that Joker, I misread your post. I am an avid fisherman and hunter myself but I have a real problem with so called big game hunters . I only hunt species that I consume and don`t understand folks who kill elephants, lions, tigers etc… and hang their remains in the den or officeand refer to them as “trophies”.

   Peace Manuel! I don’t trophy-hunt either. We are on the same page.
   BTW, I’m back from the Amazon. What a trip that was…
   I highly recommend the local jungle tours for those who like camping, hiking etc.
