Reply #6: i hope you're right

reading chomsky is a similar feeling - overwhelmingly bad, then at the end, he says 'keep fighting!' the bandage isn't big enough to cover the wound.

those pre-war protests happened everywhere else but the country that invaded - we (well, THEY) were too busy waving the flag & shouting down the pacifists. i think we'll eventually STOP this war, but preventing the next? that's optimism i don't see reason for. beating down the psuedo-con right & prying the evangelicals out of their propaganda grip is going to take 20 more years.
