Four years of hot XXX American Occupation, and those damn brown people still can’t get it right! Oh jeez louise<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Iraq has emerged as the world\u2019s second most unstable country, behind Sudan, more than four years after President George W. Bush ordered the U.S. invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, according to a survey released on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 2007 Failed States Index, produced by Foreign Policy magazine and the Fund for Peace, said Iraq suffered a third straight year of deterioration in 2006 with diminished results across a range of social, economic, political and military indicators. Iraq ranked fourth last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As eloquently stated by Amanda at Pandagon<\/a>:<\/p>\n

As of today, we\u2019ve spent $436,458,000,000 on this adventure war, and still Bush failed to make Iraq the #1 most fucked-up country on the planet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keeping up with my community services of all things feminist and Pandagon related (since we inherently hate females due to our hilarious blog logo<\/a>), and to do some poetic reiterating, you\u2019re stretching<\/a> when you say<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Translation: We can accept advertising of sexual devices if they are advertised as benefiting men. But if they insinuate something as crazy as the concept that men should respect women\u2019s bodies, health, and choices, then they\u2019re way out of line.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure men and women both benefit from use of contraceptives.<\/p>\n

In the international blogosphere, CA has a post with commercial from different countries on military recruitment<\/a>. The Russian one<\/a> forgot to mention the wonders of officer-inflicted hazing<\/a>. Publius has a post on if Russia Supplying Attack Aircraft to Syria<\/a>, ThreatsWatch on the Net-Centric Operations of Terrorist Groups<\/a>, and the State Department’s Arabic problem is worse than you think<\/a>. Lastly, I suggest you head over to the Marmot’s Hole to read his take<\/a> on 54 Million Dollar Pants Lawsuit which has taken on the uncomfortable element of race and Korean\/Black relations.<\/p>\n
