Lennon

Today is the anniversary of John Lennon's death - an event which shows just how far some people are willing to go for fame.
I wonder if some people in Iraq have learned this lesson?
Another bunch of peace activists have been kidnapped, and their captors demand the release of all prisoners.
What will that accomplish?
The prisoners go free. The hostages die anyway. New prisoners are taken. The wheel turns again.

Merry Christmas to the troops in Iraq.
Merry Christmas to the troops in Afghanistan, a group of people who have been mostly overshadowed by the more (un)popular conflict next door. Their job is just as arduous, just as dangerous.
But their stories are not getting on CNN. Merry Christmas, folks.
