In July, I highlighted that House Concurrent Resolution 362 would enable war against Iran in the form of a total air, sea, and land blockade. This bill passed the House and is now in the Senate as Senate Resolution 580, with 32 co-sponsors. For those who would say such a blockade is NOT an act of war I remind you of the Union naval blockade of the South in the War of Succession, and the British blockades during the War of 1812, which led to the burning of Washington DC in 1814. In April I noted Iran removed the dollar from their oil bourse. This was in understandable retaliation for the United States declaring what can only be termed as financial war on Iran, as I noted here in March. FACT: A week ago a joint US/UK/French strike force practiced in the Atlantic to enforce a naval blockade on Iran. Codenamed Operation Brimstone, this exercise is now completed and the group led by the nuclear powered supercarrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is at this very moment powering toward the Persian Gulf. The world?s mightiest armada ever will now reside in Arab waters. The American press is of course silent on Brimstone for now as Bush?s government continues to rape the Constitution. http://www.libertymaven.com/2008/08/13/bush-and-gang-prepares-to-unleash-hell-on-iran-is-the-georgian-war-a-stepping-stone/1460/ This Blog is not the world's most reliable source. Could be big trouble in the Persian Gulf, not to mention the effect on oil prices. :?

Why do people refer to thailand as a place to meet women who work in bars and sell themselves? It makes me sad to see such an amazing country use this angle. Ive met so many nice thai women who are honest and decent. Im not blaming anything. What is the cultural difference? People selling themselves in this country (UK) is frowned upon. Why does thailand have this stigma? I dont understand the logic to it. Yes thai people are decent people. and they work. I realise that there is no social support. Where does this culture come from? I do apologise about maybe being provocative. Im just curious. but then again i dont have to contemplate this.
