BAGHDAD - A women wearing a suicide vest blew herself up near a popular market and a Shiite mosque in restive Diyala province north of the capital Wednesday, killing eight civilians and wounding seven others, police said.

Buddha/ (WTF???!!!) Okay folks, here we go. This is getting worse. I am certain that I never heard about female suicide bombers in Iraq prior to the U.S. military occupation. Things are obviously way wrong for this to be occurring. Bush seems to be worse for the Iraqi people than their previous dictator was. I am asking everyone who reads this to pause for a moment and consider how bad things would need to become for your mother or daughter to get so angry and/or hopeless that she would carry out a suicide attack. Seriously, do it now! Follow with a minute of silent reflection for all those who've been lost in this conflict. Thank you.

Is it a coincidence that this attack follows still more sabre rattling by (you guessed it) The Uber Diplomat sHRUB? Condie (yes, the one with an oil tanker named after her) has an AP video speaking for the American people and promising to assist Lebanon in resisting outside interference in their government. HUH??? That is the most ridiculous thing she could have said given the very hands-on middle-east policy of the kleptocracy. As long as the U.S. administration's oil requires liberation from it's Arab captors we will have my buddies playing in the sand, unless..........

We can change this dynamic through concerted action. Vote at the ballot box as well as with your money. Become informed and stay aware of what's happening in your name and through your purchases. Pay attention to the upcoming presidential election and get your voice heard on the issues that matter most to you (or if you can't think of any contact me and you can push my issues). Write your representatives in multiple levels of government and let them know what's important to you and that you are very influential among your many voting friends.

Our democracy is rapidly being pulled out from under our feet. It's time to pull back hard! If it goes too far we may begin having women blowing themselves up in public right here in the U.S. Please read The Shock Doctrine or check it out on youtube or The Traceless Warrior. We are on a slippery oily slope to a Brave New World.

Let's get over our fossil fuel addiction before it kills us and everyone around us. Sorry this post is so negative, but the idea of female suicide attackers is just so viscerally wrong that I had to just put it out.

Stay tuned for solutions. Feel free to read from the archives and links also. If so inclined you could even do some research and thinking on this and let us know what you find. We are going to need to be networked and active to overcome this.
