A quiet Saturday afternoon..
yes! now I know how to post pics (thanks Siow Ping!) yups it works fine. Next step - blogskin..
recommended readings -
(i) In Front of Your Nose (Paul Krugman article) : (excerpt) "We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield." That's from George Orwell's 1946 essay "In Front of Your Nose." It seems especially relevant right now, as we survey the wreckage of America's Iraq adventure."
*For full article pls go to the above link. Would recommend reading George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "Nineteen eighty four" for context. I always think its quite amazing that George Orwell produced such works more than half a century ago..
(ii) Europe leaves the U.S. behind
(iii) A US Diplomat's Letter of Resignation
(iv) Sorry, Mr. President, but Iraq looks a lot like Vietnam
(v) From Dream to Nightmare
(vi) Iraqi Prison Photos Mar U.S. Image this article has to be seen. "Liberators or Occupiers?" was the common question asked. Now - abusers/torturers? After reading this article and related news, one really wonders what is in the minds of all these people? Future of the people of Iraq...?
