this diary is dedicated to all who suffer because of war
we love and support our troops, just as we love and support the Iraqi people – without exception, or precondition, or judgment.

A man carries a baby as he walks past a U.S. soldier on guard at a checkpoint in Baghdad, October 24, 2006. U.S. forces combed a central Baghdad neighbourhood for a missing soldier on Tuesday as rising U.S. casualties and increasing bloodshed in Iraq piled pressure on U.S. President George W. Bush to change his policy.

Come As You Are
by Nirvana
Come as you are,
as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend,
As a friend,
As an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don’t be late
Take a rest, as a friend, As an old memoria~~~a
Memoria~~~~a
Memoria~~~~a
Memoria~~~~a
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend,as a friend As an old memoria~~~a
Memoria~~~a
Memoria~~~a
Memoria~~~a
And I swear that I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
Solo
Memoria~~~a, Memoria~~~a,
Memoria~~~a, Memoria~~~a
And I swear that I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
Memoria~~~a, Memoria~~~a.
