Now, it comes out that they covered up the Iraqi regime’s atrocities, in part to protect their Iraqi employees, but also to protect their access. They’re not winners in my book. http://patrickruffini.blogspot.com/2003/04/boycott-cnn-despite-reasonably-fair.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Patrick)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257808.post-92426521Fri, 11 Apr 2003 13:47:00 +00002003-04-12T13:25:01.000-04:00http://patrickruffini.blogspot.com/2003/04/blog-post.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Patrick)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257808.post-92331583Thu, 10 Apr 2003 02:25:00 +00002003-04-12T13:25:34.000-04:00 Isn't it a shame our President is alienating these people with his unilateral foreign policy?http://patrickruffini.blogspot.com/2003/04/isnt-it-shame-our-president-is.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Patrick)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257808.post-92323545Wed, 09 Apr 2003 23:54:00 +00002003-04-09T20:01:47.000-04:00YES, I'VE BEEN READING FALLACI: This MoDo column, while perhaps not rising to Immutable Laws levels of idiocy, does elicit a certain je ne sais quoi... Mr. Cheney's war guru, Victor Davis Hanson, writes in his book "An Autumn of War" that war can be good, and that sometimes nations are better off using devastation than suasion. Mr. Hanson cites Sherman's march through Georgia, the 19th http://patrickruffini.blogspot.com/2003/04/yes-ive-been-reading-fallaci-this-modo.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Patrick)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257808.post-92313017Wed, 09 Apr 2003 20:32:00 +00002003-04-09T16:32:52.966-04:00PATRICKRUFFINI.COM IS BACK UP as of five minutes ago. But this site will remain active until I can get Movable Type installed, which will probably be in a couple of days.

Well, not bad in the sense of my 840 or so entries getting zapped, but my web site has been inaccessible for almost 72 hours now, and out of desperation (and in anticipation of Iraq Liberation Day), I'm setting up shop here at Blogspot http://patrickruffini.blogspot.com/2003/04/weekend-from-hell-if-case-youre-tried.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Patrick)0
