"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." -GWBush



“Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.”
Noam Chomsky


“How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?”
Howard Zinn



How long must we keep repeating Bush's lies, pretending them to be true? The biggest beneficiary of 9/11 was the US Military Industrial Complex, just like Eisenhower tried to warn us about. There are some elements who want perpetual war, and they make their livings off all the death and destruction, and I'm getting fucking sick of it, but I don't know what else to do. How many placards, bumper stickers, or marches are enough? Evidence seems to indicate that infinity isn't enough.




I might as well add, I have no doubt that one of you will alert on this sooner rather than later (OMG a conspiracy theory, it's as if he said we never landed on the moon!), because your livelihood depends on it. That's the problem. You are the problem. Can we find an answer?

and knew the playbook, and when the playbook said ignore the warnings, that's just what he did. Keep it simple.
