The New Sunni Jihad: 'A Time for Politics'

Why Not devide Iraq into separate States?

In the article noted above, one part of Iraq imbraces a constitution while another rejects it. Why not then devide Iraq into separate autonomous states, one for those who want a democratic government and another state for those who want their own form of government. That would satisfy both the Suni's and the rest of the Iraqi people.

America invaded Iraq on the pretence of ousting Saddam Hussain and freeing the Iraq's people from his tyranical rule and now they are struggling to take their country back any way they can and by any means they can. It is a struggle or jihad that I don't think will ever end unless or until the USA exits the country. You know dang well that we would have had an American Jihad if someone invaded our country and tried to force us to do something we didn't agree with. You can bank on that. So what is the difference?

We need an exit strategy now and we need to implement it as soon as possible. Let the Iraqui's form their own governmet or let it fall apart or help them form their own with minimal interference. How many times do I have to say "I told you so?"

More Lousy service from Chase Bank

Here we go again, more lousy service from Chase Bank formerly Bank One. I was just called by a Don Haxton from Florida in the collections department trying to collect a payment on my car. He continued to talk at the same time as I talked. This is not the way to communicate. One person talks and the other is supposed to listen. If both talk at the same time, one of them is not listening. This is typical of collections people. They won't shut up long enough to listen to what the other person has to say. The second person I talked to was an Anita W. (they won't give their last names) who hung up on me after I questioned why I had to give the exact same information to her a second time. Wasn't she listening? Suddenly the phone was cut off and I got a busy signal.
FINALLY on the third try I got a supervisor who not only listened but explained the charges the way they should have been in the first place. Needless to say I made the payment but will be changing the due date so that this type of aggravation no longer happens.

I still don't know why it took five telephone calls to an automated system. Two of those attempts got the wrong area. It took threats and innuendo to get action. This should never have happened in the first place it the first caller had been able to communicate and listen.

For this reason I warn you to do business with Chase Bank at your own risk. They may be hazardous to your pocketbook. Like the old saying goes, we don't need them, they need us and if enough of us walk away from them perhaps they will get the message that something is wrong and correct it. Or they can go out of business.
Ain't that the truth?

DeLay's Influence Transcends his title

Interesting thoughts on corruption in Washington

The Republicans preach from the bully pulpit acting as though they are angels of God when in fact they are Wolves in Sheeps clothing. Take for instance DeLay's inditment on possible criminal wrongdoing in his campaign finances. As a person who has been a Photojournalist for a small newspaper, I find it amazing that the ones who talk the loudest and act with the greatest piety often are the most corrupt and hypocritical. On the one hand they point out their undying allegiance to the church and with the other do just the opposite.

I have interviewed and have explained various subjects to supposed religious fundamentalists, later finding out that they themselves were the worst transgressors of the faith the profess. They cry about pornography and the exploitation of the masses yet they stare transfixed to the TV watching some of the most degrading filth ever produced. Behind closed doors they practice the debauchery they so vehemently denounce. They go to church on Sunday and on Monday they continue to lie , cheat and steal. Yet they dare to call themselves Christians. Oh my.

It is no wonder the American people are disinchanted with our current government and the president. I really think that we are finally comming to the realization that there must be a change and the ones now in power need to be thrown out and a new regime installed. I don't know if that is the way you feel, but I sure do.

Ain't that the truth?
