They knew what they were doing. We must support our troops!" When people say that, what they don't realize is, they are actually confirming why we should end the war. Yes, these soldiers volunteered for the military because they want to serve and defend their country. They have no choice in what war they fight, any more than a police officer can choose what laws to enforce. For that reason, it is <i>all the more important</i> that citizens of the United States send a strong message to our government, "We don't agree with this war!"

Weird in my world is that the previous die hard Republican Bush fanatics now claim to dislike him but are quick to point out "how little control the executive branch has anyways". I see the whole Dem lot as loving the Republican surge which enriches them at the same time as deflecting anger from them. Time for the white "progressives" to fall asleep for another 4-8 years as the Clinton/Carter/Johnson cunts continue the same rightward surge with a smarter face (but hey! at least it isn't Reagan or Bush! Hoooooooray!). (and thanks, loved your rep on the Pacifca stations of late...cuts through the shit with your humor intact) Hello Glen,
