Shameless message forum plug: what do you think of a French anti-boycott?

Some morons hacked al-Jazeera and threw up an image of the American flag that stated, "Let Freedom Ring..." These idiots probably believe that the US is fighting for the freedoms of Iraqis, ALL WHILE TAKING AWAY THE FREEDOMS OF ARABS TO HAVE THEIR OWN MEDIA BY TAKING DOWN AL-JAZEERA! Argh! God fucking damnit! WHY ARE PEOPLE IS THIS COUNTRY SO GODDAMN STUPID?! WHY?!

What a bunch of HYPOCRITICAL FUCKING IDIOTS! Let whoever did this know how you feel, they left their email address on the page: freedom2003@networld.com

North Korea keeps on begging for attention: they have threatened Japan with "self-destruction" if they launch spy satellites into space next week, said that the US has been engaging in espionage almost daily and that breaks the armistice agreement which ended the Korean War (plus they are still peeved at the annual war games the US is staging with South Korea, and the stashing of US bombers on Guam, placing them within striking distance of North Korea), they have broken off border talks with the UN, and they said that they will raise their sell bonds and raise their military budget. Kim Jong Il needs a hug.

The US and Russia have been firing accusations against each other. It's nice to know that nobody in the world likes our shrub president. When this guy is booted out of office in 2004, we're going to need to give his successor 4 terms to clean up the mess Bush has created.

The WTO (World Trade Organization, remember them?) has ruled against US steel tariffs that the Bush administration placed on steel imports. That means that we have to remove the tariffs and adhere to their doctrine of free trade, or face sanctions. For full disclosure, I protested against the WTO in Seattle, 1999.. the shrub has trashed every other global agreement that stood in the way of his agenda, maybe if he trashes the WTO it would be a good thing. Heh.
