I throw this out for consideration re - the real war and what we call it
The right wing is ramming the words 'the war on terror' down on us. Calling it a war riles the war lovers.

I invite you to substitute 'corporate war' or 'colonial war'.

Or call it 'planned war'. Or even the 'lost war' (they lost their way on the way to Afghanistan).

We need some counter brain-washing, pro-active tactics. The right wing lemmings have to wake up. The ones who rubber-stamp killing by their ommission of thought and their zeal to have someone fight for them.

If the right wing calls it a war on terror and the right wing and Democrats follow, it only justifies the continued agenda of war mongers who are using us and our money for their corporate war to reap profit and gain right wing control of earth resources and protect Sharon.

Their agenda relies on brain washing - avoid being washed by acqiuesing to the terminology. Just as people marched - people can act by choosing words carefully and not dittoing the right wing.

Make them mad - throw it at them - imagine that it could grow to the point that mainstream media would talk about it.

I say it isn't even a war - it was a criminal act that was more successful than the first WTC bombing - which was prosecuted as a criminal act. If we have to say war - just say what kind it is.
