Double Dare Ya, Part Two
Double Dare Ya, Part Two – And speaking of Actions = Consequences, we hear that "Anti-war British lawmaker George Galloway will call for international volunteers to form a human shield in Baghdad to try to thwart any attack after he flies to Iraq on Saturday. ’One of the ideas will be an international peace brigade of volunteers from around the world. People who will go to Iraq and offer themselves to be witnesses to what may well be about to happen.’ "
Gosh, that would be bad if a British lawmaker stayed there and got hurt. "Galloway said he did not intend staying in Baghdad with any volunteer human peace shield. His place was in the corridors of power and on the streets of London trying to persuade Britain to back out of a coalition with the United States."
Oh.

Chicken-Dove?
Jesus, I've been watching too many movies lately. Over at Quick's site I made a comparison to Apollo 13 and now I'm going to go on about X-Men. Wolverine, in response to Magneto's self-righteous bullshit talk: "You're so full of shit. It should be you up there in that thing instead of her." Amazing how the conviction of belief stops when it comes to actually sacrificing yourself. Oh no, that's what the little people whom you've suckered are for.
Gee, I wonder if Alex Baldwin will answer the call. He could make good on that "Baldwin will leave if Bush wins" thing Kim said he was so serious about. Oh yea, and what about Fisk? This would be a great chance for him to be a symbol all over again. I wonder if we can send Galloway some nominations. Robert Fisk may actually do it. I'll bet journalists would stand a good chance of being safe in some Baghdad hotel. It would be more comfortable than Afghanistan and they would stand less of a chance of getting Fisked. Saddam knows how to put together an effective police force. Of course, there are those "supposed" biohazards hidden in those "alleged" public places. Still, everyone knows they really aren't into that kind of stuff over there.
