Grandmothers in Iraq? The debate over peace?

A grandmother is voluntarily going over to Iraq as a nurse. I ask, what good will a grandmother be to soldiers in a war zone? Home baked muffins perhaps? How about some fresh squeezed lemonade? Oh, lets get a Band- Aid on that missing limb. This grandmother going over, however, could be a sign of the times. When it comes to the point where we need to send our grandmothers into the war, I think it means we lost. Or that the Iraqi army really sucks.

Also, some pour soul is being fined $25 a day for hanging a christmas wreath in the shape of a peace sign in front of their house. Whats surprising is the fact that they are debating over a Christmas tradition. Had it been from any other religion, I could understand. We are a nation of ignorant and intolerant xenophobes after all. But to be debating a Christmas wreath? And a peace sign? People say that the peace sign is an Anti-War sentiment regarding the war in Iraq. Or... a Satanic symbol? I shall deal with that later... Well, regarding the Anti- War argument, well yes, I think a PEACE symbol would inherently be ANTI WAR. But, it could be against the war in Darfur, or the Central African Republic Civil War, or the Israel- Lebanon conflict. But honestly, are people really saying that peace is a bad thing? What level Nazi must one be to agree with that statment? Regarding the Satanic symbol... I'm not even going to touch it. Just laugh at it, and trust me in the fact that it's funny.


P.S.- I've noticed i have quite the love of ellipsis...
