It's all about the war isn't it?

Today it was reported that severe earthquakes have occurred in 10

different locations in France. The severity was measured in excess of 10

on the Richter Scale. The cause was the 56,681 dead American soldiers buried in

French soil rolling over in their graves.

According to the American Battle Monuments Commission there are 26,255

Yankee dead from World War I buried in 4 cemeteries in France. There are

30,426 American dead from World War II buried in 6 cemeteries in France.

These 56,681 brave American heroes died in their youth to liberate a

country which is guilty of shameful unspeakable behavior in the 21st century.

May the United States of America never forget their sacrifice as we find

ways to forcefully deal with the Godforsaken unappreciative, forgetful

country of France!

My favorite Marines picture:

3/28:NEW YORK -- A Columbia University professor told an anti-war gathering that he would like to see "a million Mogadishus" -- referring to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that killed 18 American servicemen.

At Wednesday night's "teach-in" on the Columbia campus, Nicholas De Genova also called for the defeat of U.S. forces in Iraq and said, "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military." And he asserted that Americans who call themselves "patriots" are white supremacists.

De Genova's comments about defeating the United States in Iraq were cheered by the crowd of 3,000, Newsday reported. But his mention of the Somali ambush -- "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus" -- was largely met with silence.

A call Friday to De Genova, 35, an assistant professor of anthropology, was answered with a recording that said his voice mailbox was full.

Columbia spokesman Joe Kennedy said the university was preparing a statement about the event. I hope they release it soon, since I volunteer quite a bit of my time helping the Freshmen engineering students with their team projects as an alumni advisor, and I don't appreciate Nick's nonsense.
