    by JOSHUA FRANK
    It was just over two years ago that I learned a little-known "antiwar" Democrat from Vermont was planning to run for President. At a rally on the eve of Bush’s Iraq invasion, a fellow protestor handed me a leaflet touting the now infamous Howard Dean, hoping that the propaganda would entice me to support his forthcoming candidacy.
    Of course, I was intrigued. Few other Democrats were speaking out against the imminent war on Iraq. Luckily, I ended up not taking the bait. (…)

    by Doug Thompson "What," a reader wanted to know, "turned you into such a Bush-hater?"
    Nothing.
    I’m not a Bush-hater. I don’t know the man well enough to hate him. Hate is a personal emotion. I don’t get personal.
    I am, however, very angry over what Bush and his minions have done to the country I love.
    I’m angry over his disregard for the more than 1,500 Americans he has sent to their death in his lies-based war.
    I’m angry about the lies he told to try and justify that senseless (…)

    Buck Up, The Word Hates Us More Than Ever Why The Left Was Right After All Ted Rall March 22, 2005 NEW YORK-Liberals have their faults, but no one can accuse them of being pigheaded. Two years after left-of-Bush Americans marched against the invasion of Iraq and a year after the Administration admitted it had lied about Saddam’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda, the sprouting of a few protodemocratic weeds in the microscopically-cracked cement of Arab (…)

    by Cindy Sheehan
    This past weekend was the two year anniversary of the beginning of ’shock and awe’ of the US Government’s aggression in Iraq. If all you did was watch CNN, FOX News, or MSNBC, you would never know.
    There were protests all across our nation. CNN called the over 800 protest events ’barely a ripple’. I spoke at a protest in Fayetteville, North Carolina where there were right around 4000 people. 4000 people full of energy and committed to the task of peace and justice and (…)

    "It’s happening again . . . woke up this morning to clear blue skies here in the lower Hudson Valley . . . three hours later, the entire sky is criss-crossed with chemtrails, and there are three or four planes up there continuing to lay them down . . . these are NOT contrails . . . the patterns have no relationship to the flight paths in or out of New York airports, but literally cover the entire sky . . . someone is spraying something, and I’d sure love to know just what it is, who’s doing (…)

    Bush, Cheney Lied About Bin Laden Escape From Tora Bora Staff And Wire Reports March 23, 2005 Both President George W.

    Is That Respecting Our Soldiers?
    by Gail Vida Hamburg The state funeral in Rome last month for Nicola Calipari - the Italian intelligence officer who rescued a kidnapped journalist from Iraqi captors, only to be gunned down by jittery American soldiers at a checkpoint in Baghdad - was a national event that united all Italians, merging their raw sorrow with the singular grief of his widow and children. It was the second time Italy pulled out all the stops for its Iraq War dead. In (…)

    Destroying Iraq Isn’t Enough for Bush An Immoral and Illegal War
    By Rep. CYNTHIA McKINNEY
    Remarks at Chicago Anti-War Rally, March 19, 2005
    Two years ago we gathered all across America to say no to war.
    We were joined by people all over the planet who know that there is an alternative to war.
    But war is about the only option available when the real motive is to steal natural resources that belong to someone else.
    Or to restack the deck in the Middle East with today’s generation (…)

    The following is an inexorable truth: the U.S. government does not know what to do with the Bolivarian government of President Chavez. Our revolution is too democratic, too humanistic, too profound and too transcendent; and is therefore beyond traditional capitalist analysis and beyond the comprehension of a government of a country where values revolve around individualism. They try, through their declarations and their media and commercial power, to convince the world that President Chavez (…)
