whats appropriate is not the issue sir rules are rules. once again the rules are bent to fit the ruling classes whims... on that note...

op-ed piece
listen swat if you are of the govs pay-roll i may of an opertunity for you...
I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Swatjester/archive1#Iraq_war ... if you were to write an op-ed piece about 100-130 words about your experience and your thoughts, the getting rid of sadam a good enough reason to invade is good. they didn't want my perspective (i was in ashcanastan, and besides the warlords being inept tools and, the opium fields, sigh... nothing "newsworthy to report")
anyway if you or someone similar want in on this, i have a friend in the (don't laugh) Milwaukee journal, and he owes me one. he promised me the page when I got out, unfortunately any praise i had was boring and no one wants to hear gripes about the "popular" end of the sand box. at least not in Wisconsin. none of my friends were/are in any of the iraqi cities (hell my cousins are squids!), anyway animosity aside... let me know
