What is wrong with Return of the Jedi?

I like that he's standing up and doing what he thinks is right. But what about what the people within his country think is right? He is supposed to represent us and now only 40% of Americans support his Iraq war efforts. He needs to get his story straight. He has changed his reasoning for going to war in Iraq so many times. I supported him wholeheartedly in Afghanistan because there were reasons to be there. But, so far, every reason he's presented for going to war in Iraq has fallen flat. Bin Laden? Nope. WMD? Nope. So now it's Iraqi freedom. What right do we have to overthrow a government? None. Just because we don't agree with it. So, by that rationale, any country that doesn't support or believe in democracy has the right to invade and try to overthrow our government (note the emphasis on "try" -- I don't seriously think anyone could actually do it).

I just want to know that we are fighting and dying for the right reasons.

We will never defeat terrorism. It just won't happen. All we are doing is breeding a new generation of terrorists. When people see their loved ones die around them, they become angered and want revenge just like Bush did when the WTC went down. Then those people vow vengeance and become terrorists themselves. Unless we're willing to wipe out the entire population of the Middle East, then it ain't gonna happen. And, even if we did wipe them out, human rights activists and closet supporters in terrorist cells in other countries are still available to make life hell for us. So, it's never gonna end. All we can do is shore up our homefront defenses. And how can we do that when all our military is in every other country but our own? Even our own National Guard is overseas.

And the Cubs won again. 12-1 over the Pirates. Corey Patterson went 5 for 6. Sergio Mitre pitched a 4-hit shutout. Not bad for a guy who is a backup for Mark Prior.

Cubbies are now in a first place tie with Houston in the NL Central. However, this is, thus far, the most competitive division in the MLB with even the last place team only 1 1/2 games back. It's gonna be a tight race, but a damn good one.

Why does the thought of a "life-time warranty" from a black market source not make me feel much better about it? How quickly could he just disappear and then the "warranty" is null and void?

When Han Solo was Frozen in Carbinite How did he survive so long without Water ?

He did not lose three years. If you look at any timeline of SW, you'll see them say that ANH happens in some given year, ESB is equivalent to ANH+3 (years) and ROTJ is equal to ANH+4. This can be give or take a couple months, I'm sure. So, at most, Han was likely frozen 12 months. I don't know how it's possible to survive without food and water, but they do perform cryogenic freezings now in real life, so they must have something worked out.

Yep I do, Sweyland. Thanks for the comments guys. I like to post crap like that sometimes and it's been a while since I've posted a new photo album. I've actually got a guy from my accounting course who has been frequenting my movie review site with a buddy of his from where he works. He loves just sitting there and reading my reviews.
