 your Joking? Lennon?


The guy responsible for the commy take over in Russia? A guy who should be considered as bad as Hitler?

A Statue of him in this country?

Why hasn't someone defaced it!?

no **** Gto. I think if anyone got close to it with a hammer, they would attack with their hemp purses and soy lattes.

The toppling of the statue was pretty cool.  I really liked hearing from two differing reporters on CNN in the field (Amanpore and the Time mag guy) state that some Iraqis are mocking the human shields and there was even a sign that read "human shields, go home" or something to that extent.

It's still not over, but it's getting there.

Cool stuff. There are benefits to war for political change suitable for American needs, even for locals :)

I am speechless. I just don't know what to say.

I have a friend who went to Whitman in WA, and he came home a hard core commie... I mean he full on wanted to condition people into being good commies so we could all work together,,, but even he was not found of lennon and his ilk.

Saying lennon was not a true commie... but a dictator....

fortunately he has grown up now, he still likes the idea but knows it can not work on a large scale....

hmmmm I will have to ask him about this statue...


This is just ****ing wrong though......

yeah, but he was a "communist" too!  ;)  haven't you ever listened to Imagine???  ;)

It's wonderful to see the Iraqi people being freed.  I just hope that freedom lasts peacefully after their new government is set up and the US/UK/UN/whomever withdraws and lets the Iraqis run things on their own.  I'm just afraid the religious factions will have a huge power struggle down the road for the new Iraq government.  I don't think it will be anywhere near as oppressive as it was with the Ba'aths in power, but factional conflict isn't a good thing for a country.  Especially if it leads to a full scale civil war.  :(  Hopefully they will learn to co-exist in the same area.

ROFL, I wondered why they talked about Lennon.

Lenin, Lennon. I can see how they can get switched around, especially considering the political views :)
