Americans bomb people, save pets

While the Afghan people suffer in their

bombed-out ruin of a country, American

journalists and army personnel are spending

thousands of dollars rescuing stray pets

in Afghanistan and shipping them back

to the US. (Even though this practice is

banned by the US military.)

For example, journalist Pamela Constable

spent $700 on sending home a three-legged cat

called Stumpy. And Major Susan Washington

spent even more shipping home a black and

white mongrel called Annie.

"She enjoyed the Fourth of July fireworks

immensely," said Washington. Because,

of course, animals can be that patriotic. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
