Hello DIN readers and Knooknicks. Are you faithful DIN readers as tired about all this "Lets go to war with Saddam" Nonsense as I am? Why don't we wait another 6 months or so just to make sure that Saddam has all is missles lined up and ready to launch them. What is the point of spending a year (OK maybe only six months or so) jumping up and down screaming about something you are planning on doing and not doing it? Whoops all us procrastinators just got offended by that one, including myself. Guess I'll have to sue myself like the guy in this Weekly World News* article.

I'm not a big fan of war (have I said this before, I think I have) but sometimes it is unaviodable. Unfortunately many of the radical fanatics in the middle east who claim to be Muslim only seem to understand violence. Current events seem to be pointing more and more to another war between the USA and Iraq. If it does go to war there will be thousands and thousands of lives lost. This isn't going to be the easy "video-game" war that the march into Bagdad in 1991 was. Saddam is determined to stay in power in entrenched in his Bagdad Palace and the US seems determinded to oust Saddam from power, either by exile, military defeat or by killing. The UN wants no part of this fiasco neither do France or Germany. I've got a terrible feeling that if this war does happen it will last sometime, not just 30 Days.

Some say it could be the beginnings of WWIII a war that many thought would be nuclear and would end the human race as we know it. Well that could be if Isreal gets dragged into the thing and all the action shifts from Iraq over to Iseal and the valley of Megiddo, where the final battle "The Battle of Armageddon" between good and evil is to take place as prophesied in the book of Revelation (some versions Revelations) of the Christian Bible. By the way it is named that because in Hebrew "Armageddon" means mount of Megiddo.

Well I think I've said my piece for this week. I'll end with a rephrasing of a common adolescent chant. Jesus Christ those who know him know him well those who don't will go to Hell.

Thank You and See Ya! Next Week,

Kirk

UPDATED NOTES: 27 June, 2007: This Episode of Kirk's Knook appears mostly in it's original form. It appeared in TJ Maher's blog/newsletter/email Your Daily Irish News (Now called Daily Irish News The DIN for short). The original version had all the font faces in bold and Blue. The title was "two-toned" Black letters with Red Cap letters.

*The link to Weekly World News tabliod newspaper, used to go directly to an article, but now just goes to their mainpage. I don't think this old article from 2003 is in their archives anymore. That is a shame because I don't remember any of the details about it.
