Today is Lychee's birthday and we surprised her today with a birthday cake that Haiza_bunny bought for her at the office. She was embarrassed by us. haha... Anyway, hope that you are happy and may all your wishes come true. (at least one of ours is coming true) hehe. Unfortunately we did not manage to take the picture of the whole cake, just the picture of a slice of the cake as requested by KCS. We did not manage to go out for lunch as we have to work at noon for the students' presentation. But we did manage to eat after two... hehe kesian..By the way, the guy standing at the back is one of UBD lecturer, Dr.Salim.. He is a funny guy... hehe.
P/S Dunno why the photo is like this, sasak, dunnno how....rotate still like that..

"I'm Tired"
Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained while in Iraq. When I recuperate they will want me to return to Iraq to finish my tour. I left Baghdad and a war that has every indication that we are losing, to return to a demoralized country much like the one I returned to in 1971 after my tour in Vietnam. Maybe it's because I'll turn 60 years old in just four months, but I'm tired:
I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican who lack the courage, fortitude, and character to see anything but shallow solutions that are based on waging war.
I'm tired of the hypocrisy of politicians who want to rewrite history by rushing to war when the going gets tough.
I'm tired of the disingenuous clamor from those that claim they 'Support the Troops' by forcing them to re-enlist while not supporting them when they return home.
I'm tired of a mainstream media that can only focus on car bombs and casualty reports because they are too afraid to show the real story of civilian deaths and atrocities at the hands of our military.
I'm tired that so many Americans think you can enforce democracy through war.
I'm tired that so many ignore the bravery of the Iraqi people to go about their daily lives.
I'm tired of the so called 'Elite Right' that prolongs this war by justifying it with lies.
I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom-Vietnam generation, have such a weak backbone that they can't or won't stand up and protest war as a course they no longer support.
Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that war does not solve problems, it creates problems.
Sincerely,
Dave Rapya,
Lieutenant Colonel, U. S. Army
101st Airborne Division
