I like the idea of buying a hand grenade on the street for a quarter.

Thanks for putting it back up. I had it on my favorites list until it went down and somehow it was removed - Interesting perspective on some things. It does kinda' make you wonder about several things. Like - Who, What, When, Where?

Is the guy legit or is it coming from someone's imagination in S. Philly? I think if there was someway any of this could be verified as factual it would have a lot more credence. It now appears to be much better written than I remember it being during the first days of the war - Command of English has drastically improved and the maturity level of the writer appears to be considerably older than earlier.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Silly Salam, the US and British war hawks just need some time that's all. After all it takes time to resolve conflicts and do investigations of allegations.
