Iraq vs U.S.A.... in Olympics rowing

When the U.S goes up against Iraq in a rowing match as an American you're left with an interesting dilemma. hhhmm.. what to do.
Watch and see what the people around us did.

Vietnam

I normally shy away from politics on my blog but I don't think this is a political issue. As everyone knows today was the deadliest day in Iraq (37 U.S. soldiers died), which is interesting especially since the war has been "officially" over for quite some time now. I have but one comment and I know that I'm going to get some nice emails and comments for this.

When I am reading about the war in Iraq why do I feel like I'm reading about the Vietnam war?
For those of you that will write to me just please keep this in mind. Explain the difference between this war and the Vietnam war as explained to the American people?by the President of the United States of America. The similiarity between the two wars is eery and I hope, I truly hope that the outcome is much better than the outcome of Vietnam.

Cheerleading Pyramids

On occasion I have thought to myself, if I were to become a lawyer what would I do if I was required to defend a client that I knew was in the wrong. What would I say? How would I defend the client?

After reading a WSJ article?about the Abu Ghraib prison scandal trials I now know what not to say in?a courtroom. Defense Lawyer Guy Womak, representing Spc. Graner, said this about Spc. Graner's actions at Abu Ghraib.

"Don't cheerleaders all over America make pyramids?", "It's not Torture".

I see Mr. Womak's point. When I was in high school I remember seeing?the 35-40 year old?male teachers acting as cheerleaders, stripping nude and clammering on top of each other to make a human pyramid. Apparently Mr. Womak and I went to the same school.
