2004 And All That

Before you can say ‘Boo’ to a turkey, Christmas will be over and New Year upon us.

2004 has been quite a year

The war in Iraq continues unabated. The Americans have raised the city of Falluja to the ground in revenge. On Tuesday of this week we had an attack in Mosul with 22 US military and other personnel killed by a suicide bomber. Earlier in the year we had the Madrid Bombings and the Beslan Siege. Darfur. Etc.

It just goes on and on further into disaster.

I wonder what Jesus Christ would have said? Probably would take his own name in vain at the complete mess we make of our world.

Political pundits are already warning us that the year ahead is going to go much the same way. Bush is in the White House for another 4 years. He, his colleagues and allies are a complete disgrace as they kid us on as to what this is all about. At root it concerns money, oil, and profit in a crusade against Muslims.

We have the General Election in the UK in June next year to vent our opposition to what our government has been doing. ‘New’ Labour must be dealt a serious blow if the people want to regain control of our democracy.

Peace, Progress, and Respect.
