I Guess I Owe An Apology To The People Who Were Pro-War in 2002/3

[stopbush]

I always believed - and believed strongly - that had the country taken to the streets en masse to protest bush's Iraq War
that it might have been stopped (by en masse, I mean 10 times the amount of people who did take to the streets). I firmly
believed that if the polls had shown that more than half the country was against bush's war it might have stopped it.

But I was wrong.

Today, 80% of the US population is strongly against bush's escalation of the war. Congress is against it. The military is
against it. And still, bush sez "fuck ya'll" and moves forward with this "deciding for death" policies. It's clear to me now that
had 100% of the country been against bush's war back in 2003, that he would have still gone ahead and launched it, claiming
that he had inherent powers to do so as CiC because he is a fucked up megalomaniac.

So, sorry everyone who I railed against...or maybe, not?

BTW - I am getting many e-mails from friends who in the past said that i was "overreacting" to bush and that the facism and
Constitution shredding of which I spoke "could never happen here." Guess what? They're all on my side now, and many of them
with fervent apologies for not being able to see even dimly what I saw as plain as day. It doesn't make me feel any better to know
that, but at least the gild is off the lily.
