What the hell kind of site is this?

For starters, it's crap. This site is total crap, so don't expect much because I'm an idiot. This site is my sketch book, my side project and my feeble attempt to connect with other talentless idiots.

Here, I post my pitiful political cartoons, funny videos made by people far more talented than I am, weird news stories, boring rants about Democrats and the Republican Party, weak observations about freedom of religion and other concepts I only barely understand, and lots of other crap. I guess the key point to take away from this is that most of what you'll find here is total crap.

Baghdad under curfew as Iraqi president cancels Iran trip

For the second night Baghdad was under curfew. A city the size of Chicago and everyone must stay indoors after dark? Tell me that's not a civil war. Hundreds of Iraqis have died so far this weekend. Baghdad, in particular, is a violent mess.

President Jalal Talabani had to cancel his trip to Iran. The Iraqis have been reaching out to Iran and Syria, much to the delight of the United States, for help and assurances that they would not assist the insurgency. Iraq is desperate now. The Iraqi government will deal with anyone, and do almost anything now for help.

What can the U.S. do about it? I don't know. The Iraqi government is going to seek help from someone, if not us, then someone else. Our options are to arrange assistance for Iraq through the U.N. and/or other nations, because if we don't help them, they're going to get help from somewhere else.

Quote:
The massive outbreak of insurgent and sectarian killing forced the authorities on Thursday to impose an indefinite curfew on Baghdad, the epicentre of carnage in the country.

The airport was also closed Saturday, forcing Talabani to postpone his trip to Tehran to discuss the country's security situation with his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Talabani said that he will make the trip when the airport reopens. His talks in Iran are expected to focus on engaging the former foe to play a greater role in helping to curb the raging bloodshed in Iraq.

"If it is open on Sunday, I'll go then," Talabani told reporters after a meeting of the Political Council for National Security late Friday.

His meeting with Ahmadinejad will come in a rapidly changing regional political environment, with Iraq already obtaining assurances from its western neighbour Syria that it will combat trafficking of militants across the border.
