The war to end all wars started here almost 100 years ago. It was all about taking sides then and "who had who's back". With the US tied up in Iraq and Russia backing Serbia (Spain and others with separatists elements irritated too), I wonder how this is going to be played out. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080221/ap_on_re_eu/serbia_kosovo_independenceI think the other scary part is how many Americans today that do not understand history much less geography. |

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." ~Albert Einstein War is inevitable. It's not if it will happen, it's when. I've often thought how minute and miniscule our differences would seem, if the Earth & human kind faced annihilation from outside our solar system. I know it sounds a little sci-fi, but you never know.  |

Rubi, I gotta agree. If there has ever been a time when we need an alien invasion, it is probably now.

NANO-NANO. For you young ones. That's from a show called Mork From Ork. We need Mork.

I stand corrected. I was on the phone with my bro as I was typing. Sorry for the mistake. Yeah, I never liked it much. I was more of an ALF fan.

The biggest problem I see with that story is this paragraph.
The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, said he was "outraged" by the attack and would ask the U.N. Security Council to issue a unanimous statement "expressing the council's outrage, condemning the attack, and also reminding the Serb government of its responsibility to protect diplomatic facilities."
I thought embassies were considered to be sovreign soil. Why didn't we anhilate the invaders? Were we hiding at the time? Running to the UN like a whiny school girl will get us more of the same in the future.

[ by the time I was old enough to enjoy it I had a distaste for Robin Williams.... I thought I was the only who hated Robin Williams. Especially his stand up. Drives me crazy when people interviewing him while he is jumping around think he is so endearing. I just want to hit him. |

Man Chris, you and I really are from the same mold. I submit that I've never seen an interview with Robin Williams. I've only seen people like Leno and Letterman interview Robin Williams characters. Stop with the schtick already and just answer the question. I too, have heaped feelings of violence upon my TV while watching him. It must be noisy in that skull.
You have to wonder if guys like Williams, Jim Carey, and to a lesser extent, Jerry Seinfeld, can just be themselves.
