Forget religion, sports is the *new* "opiate of the people".

• Think the war in Iraq is over? Think again. Two major cities there are
on the verge of being taken over by al-Qaeda.

No, the war in Iraq is NOT over -- thank you George W. Bush. He made a
big mistake when he stretched Saddam Hussein's neck for him. Whatever
else you could say about Saddam, at least he kept the
Sunnis/Shiites/Kurds/al-Qaeda from blowing up each other and innocent
civilians.

Iraq: the wrong war for a country that had *nothing* to do with 9/11,
the gift that keeps on giving. How to totally trash an entire country
for no reason. Thanks again, W!!!
