He's a sweetheart too! He was in a rented room where the guy hadn't
paid the rent in three months, and had disapeared. We had to get a
locksmith to open the door, and get him out. I just dropped him off at
a friend who rescues cats, and within a day she said "he's a keeper".
Fixed and all.
She said he jumped up into that chair himself, and joined the 7 dwarfs
her son had put there earlier.

Well we think he went into the nuthouse, so it wasn't voluntary. He
had water and food, but still, he was in solitary confinement, and no
animal likes being alone.

Very true... I have cats, dogs, and one cockatoo.
The cockatoo is the most demanding of attention. ;-)

Probably because cats and dogs will interact with each other, for
better or worse, but birds usually only relate to other birds, or
bird-brains...

How do you feel about "people" who cut off food,
water, and electricity to women and children, and
them terrorize and/or kill them with high explosives
and banned chemical weapons?

Falluja: A Name That Lives in Infamy
by Mike Marqusee

One year ago this week, US-led occupying forces launched a devastating
assault on the Iraqi city of Falluja. The mood was set by Lt Col Gary
Brandl: "The enemy has got a face. He's called Satan. He's in Falluja.
And we're going to destroy him."

The assault was preceded by eight weeks of aerial bombardment. US
troops cut off the city's water, power and food supplies, condemned as
a violation of the Geneva convention by a UN special rapporteur, who
accused occupying forces of "using hunger and deprivation of water as
a weapon of war against the civilian population". Two-thirds of the
city's 300,000 residents fled, many to squatters' camps without basic
facilities.

As the siege tightened, the Red Cross, Red Crescent and the media were
kept out, while males between the ages of 15 and 55 were kept in. US
sources claimed between 600 and 6,000 insurgents were holed up inside
the city - which means that the vast majority of the remaining
inhabitants were non-combatants.

On November 8, 10,000 US troops, supported by 2,000 Iraqi recruits,
equipped with artillery and tanks, supported from the air by bombers
and helicopter gunships, blasted their way into a city the size of
Leicester. It took a week to establish control of the main roads;
another two before victory was claimed.

The city's main hospital was selected as the first target, the New
York Times reported, "because the US military believed it was the
source of rumors about heavy casualties". An AP photographer described
US helicopters killing a family of five trying to ford a river to
safety. "There were American snipers on top of the hospital shooting
everyone," said Burhan Fasa'am, a photographer with the Lebanese
Broadcasting Corporation. "With no medical supplies, people died from
their wounds. Everyone in the street was a target for the Americans."

The US also deployed incendiary weapons, including white phosphorous.
"Usually we keep the gloves on," Captain Erik Krivda said, but "for
this operation, we took the gloves off". By the end of operations, the
city lay in ruins. Falluja's compensation commissioner has reported
that 36,000 of the city's 50,000 homes were destroyed, along with 60
schools and 65 mosques and shrines.

The US claims that 2,000 died, most of them fighters. Other sources
disagree. When medical teams arrived in January they collected more
than 700 bodies in only one third of the city. Iraqi NGOs and medical
workers estimate between 4,000 and 6,000 dead, mostly civilians - a
proportionately higher death rate than in Coventry and London during
the blitz.

The collective punishment inflicted on Falluja - with logistical and
political support from Britain - was largely masked by the US and
British media, which relied on reporters embedded with US troops. The
BBC, in particular, offered a sanitized version of the assault:
civilian suffering was minimized and the ethics and strategic logic of
the attack largely unscrutinized.

Falluja proved to be yet another of the war's phantom turning points.
Violent resistance spread to other cities. In the last two months,
Tal-Afar, Haditha, Husaybah - all alleged terrorist havens heavily
populated by civilians - have come under the hammer. Falluja is still
so heavily patrolled that visitors have described it as "a giant
prison". Only a fraction of the promised reconstruction and
compensation has materialized.

Like Jallianwallah Bagh, Guernica, My Lai, Halabja and Grozny, Falluja
is a place name that has become a symbol of unconscionable brutality.
As the war in Iraq claims more lives, we need to ensure that this
atrocity - so recent, so easily erased from public memory - is
recognized as an example of the barbarism of nations that call
themselves civilized.

Sorry, but what does that have to do with rescuing a cat?

<puzzled look>

Of course I care!

Are you saying he should go crusading instead and have left the cat to
die when he had a chance to rescue it?

Man, you are cold.......

You stated that you "hate people that abandon animals and leave

to see if you feel the same way about "people" who do that and
much worse to innocent women and children.
