Who's the bad guy?

Al-Zarqawi is dead, Saddam Hussein is on trial and Bin Laden is holed up in an Afghan cave, reading the Qur'an and eating cold Beenie-Weenies straight from the can while generally hiding out from the good guys like my friend Warner. With no disrespect meant to the Zarqawi family, the people who are prosecuting the Hussein trial, nor to folks like Warner (and his family) who are serving their country in a most admirable way, I'd like to take this opportunity to provide something of a reality check. Namely, that while this great country spends billions of dollars fighting the bad guys, we can't spare one percent of our national budget to end hunger worldwide!

Just so you know.

Nietzsche said, "That which does not kill me only makes me stronger." It's a famous quote and is often repeated but is rarely associated with the fact that Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche has been dead for over a century.

Draw your own conclusions.
