Iraqi Perspective
Glory and honor to the U.S. and Allied men and women whose blood is irrigating the tree of freedom in this land; and their sacrifices, suffering, and toil is laying the foundation for a future renaissance of the Mesopotamian People. Hail soldiers of freedom and enlightenment. Do not be dismayed by the trouble and turbulence of the present, for the future generations will remember and appreciate.
And last but not least; Hail, Great El Bush, a leader not only of the U.S. but a true hero of mankind. And Hail Mr. Blair and the other Leaders of the Free World.
God Bless the New Republic of Iraq; God Bless America.
From the Mesopotamian

Stalkers
Having a website, I get the pleasure of enduring a number of rather disturbing internet stalkers. Since it also has a fair bit of personal information on it, as well as photos, they seem to think it is some sort of achievement that they "know so much about me".
Anyway, those people are nothing to worry about, apparently. Far more disturbing is the weird, creepy SMS stalker one of my friends Jimbo has attracted. Here are some of the fun messages he has received, in his own words.
I have now recieved two sms's from someone claiming to be
lover girl and then secret admirer.
The first wasnt so bad but last night I got a message at 12:20 saying "Thought you might like to be woken up".
I was not a particularly happy camper as I had almost drifted off.
What's worse is they come from Motocrew (some internet sms service) so I can't reply.
And then he got this one, which truly takes the cake:
"You look so hot today! i want to smear you in hot chicken skin and slowly eat it off!"
I think I speak for everyone when I say....OOOOKAY!.
And done...
Long Live the New Iraq.

First Post
Well, here it is.
After meaning to do so for yonks and yonks, I finally set up my blog. What will the posts be about? Who knows...anything that takes my interest: politics, history, computing, gaming, the proper way to molest a chicken...
I'm still working out how this all functions, so the next post may be a while.
...Oh, and in case you didn't know, the title of this blog: Alea iacta est is Latin for "The Die is Cast".
Its what Caesar allegedly said when he crossed the Rubicon, ie the point of no return. I thought it a particularly poignant quote considering the state of the world these days, especially with regards to combating the scourge of Islamofascism and promoting democracy in Iraq.
Who the hell are you?
....will be rejigged....watch this space.
