Anybody think this will make things easier? _________________________ "The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us."

It looks to be a pretty straightforward UN recognition of the new Iraqi government, not a thumbs-up to the invasion.

Do you libs have to always be so damn negative? _________________________ You can't measure the worth of person's soul from a list of the comic books they read.
