"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." -H.L. Mencken

Muntadher al-Zaidi Knows What's Up
The Iraqi journalist that chucked his kicks at Dubya is the man. I think he pretty much summed up my feelings on the Iraq debacle in a succinct and piercing manner.While appearing in court he said Dubya's "bloodless and soulless smile" and joking banter provoked him. I only wish he had an NFL caliber arm and better aim...
From the man himself; "I could only see Bush and feel the blood of the innocents flow under his feet, as he was smiling that smile -- as if he had come to bid farewell to Iraq and with the last support and more than 1 million martyrs,"
"At that moment, I felt this is the man who killed our nation ...the main murderer and the main person responsible for killing our nation." "I don't know what accomplishments he was talking about. The accomplishments I could see were the more than 1 million martyrs and a sea of blood," al-Zaidi said.
"There are more than 5 million Iraqi orphans because of the occupation. ... More than a million widows and more than 3 million displaced because of the occupation."
Keep on keepin on Muntadher al-Zaidi.
