i know. no, i also couldn't find any other references, apart from
irc-rumors.. and a message last night on tv that those pictures had been
taken back from media officially, reason unconfirmed. i just wanted to
stress that one should never really trust pictures..

to tell the truth: the impression that anyone can really want a war.
or at least not speak out against it.

sorry, maybe it's just me, but i take popular culture serious, and believe
that especially series like the simpsons or south park -in a very coded
way, perhaps- can tell you a lot about our culture, eg, how easy things
can get out of hand.. if you have never seen this movie, i won't elaborate
on that now.

i'm just basically against war. because it doesn't solve any problems.
just enlarges them. and kills people. the wrong ones.

oh. and, btw, i forgot to mention that i also live in a city (cologne)
which got bombed out like hell in WWII.

i don't see how killing even more civilians (or do you really think you
will catch the big ones, this time?) could better things or bring back
anyone of those victims so sadly missed.

oh.. shit.
