we shall not ease from exploration

and the end of all our exploring

will be to arrive where we started

and to know the place for the first time!

That is brilliant!

I found a really good satire,
'Daddy why did we have to invade Iraq?'
Just a short extract to make you hungry

"DADDY: Well, you know, it doesn't matter whether or not they had those weapons. We had another good reason to invade them anyway.
CHILD: And what was that?
DADDY: Even if Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, which is another good reason to invadeanother country.
CHILD: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his country?
DADDY: Well, for one thing, he tortured his own people.
CHILD: Kind of like what they do in China and Israel or we did in Abu Graib?
DADDY: Don't go comparing China and Israel to Iraq. And Abu Graib is different. China is a good economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages in sweatshops to make U.S. corporations richer. Israel is our special ally and it has a right to defend itself.
CHILD: So if a country lets its people be exploited for American corporategain, it's a good country, even if that country tortures people? And if a country claims some special relationship with America, and it can call torture defense, than it can also torture people?
DADDY: Right."

Go read it, there isn't much I could say about, it's just too true!

Lets see... perhaps you might want to add that it's a good invasion, and ok to do it, only if ordered by a left-wing president.

Get over it, Bush won you lost.
