This very same thought has gone through my mind many times, long before 9/11, long before Bush, long before Iraq. Every empire has to fall. It may be another law of physics. What's happening right now in Iraq, I'm afraid, may be just the beginning of the end. I don't like to feel so doomy about it, but I just have this horrible and overwhelming feeling that that's exactly what's going on right now. When I think of George Bush, I think of the psycho president in Stephen King's "Dead Zone" - I just can't get that image out of my mind. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
