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.

Iraq civil war inevitable, experts say

I don't agree that total civil war is inevitable. I think it is likely, but not inevitable.

If you can think of possible things that might stop it, then it's probably not inevitable. What if the leaders of the Sunni and Shia Muslim sects came together and went on hunger strikes until a cease fire occurred? What if the U.N. called Iraq a humanitarian disaster, slapped sanctions against the U.S. for starting the war and ordered U.N. peacekeepers into Iraq? What if two Muslim nations agreed to send an equal number of troops to stabilize the country?

I don't believe total civil war is inevitable, but I do believe we shouldn't expect a true solution as long as George Bush is president.

If Iraq is to hold together and avoid an all-out bloodbath, they say, it will be because the country's warring factions step back from the brink and forge some sort of political compromise. That seems like a pipe dream after a weekend of the worst violence for Iraqi civilians since the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

The United States has 140,000 troops in Iraq and is spending roughly $2 billion per week on military operations, "but all of that effort doesn't really matter," said Andrew Bacevich, a Boston University professor and graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

"We're not in control any longer," Bacevich said.

"There is a growing sense that both sides are attempting to move toward a civil war - they want to have a civil war - to bring closure to who will have power in Iraq," said a retired senior military officer who requested anonymity, referring to Iraq's Shiite and Sunni Muslims. "This is all about power."

Bush is due to meet in Amman, Jordan, with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in an effort to prod him to take concrete steps, particularly to deal with rampaging sectarian militias.
