    Mr. Bush
    I am alone in my room, home at last. I look in the mirror and I don’t know myself. I’ve done terrible things in Iraq; I’ve killed innocent women and children. I cannot live with myself anymore. My wife will understand. I have a gun ready to do what must be done to save my soul.
    I am in Walter Reed Hospital. They say I’ll never walk again. What about all those prosthetic legs I see on TV? Nobody seems to care if I get all the care I need. Mr. Bush, I killed for your liberation. (…)

On March 13, 2007, about 30 or so Peace activists met with a representative of her office. The senator, of course, was a no-show. I suspect that if it were the lobbyists from (…)

    Here are the results of the March 23, 2007, vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to give Bush and Cheney over $100 billion more for war. The bill passed with exactly the 218 votes required. Almost all of the Republicans and six Democrats voted No for the wrong reasons. One Democrat voted "Present". But eight Democrats voted No because they oppose further funding of this war. These eight are the beginning of a movement for peace, and the first indication that some (…)
