    Rich Procter: ’Iraq - Vietnam redux? A handy checklist’
    Smug, self-righteous, ideologues wielding unproven cocktail party geo-political theories to coerce reluctant Americans into war? Check.

    "President Bush charged Tuesday that anti-war protesters like Cindy Sheehan who want troops brought home immediately do not represent the views of most U.S. military families and are ’advocating a policy that would weaken the United States.’"
    Bringing our troops home from the quagmire that he has gotten us into will be weakening the United States? George: even if you pretend you didn’t know that Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction and Iraq was not threat to (…)

    SPINNING THE WHEELS (A diffuse Rant)
    By Peter Fredson
    August 23, 2005
    It is not only Lance Armstrong that makes wheels spin. George Bush has determined not to let reality intrude on his fantasy in Iraq, so he and his thugs engage in spinning the truth like Whirling Dervishes. He has decided to wage an intensive personality campaign, manic in intensity, in which he struts, swaggers, grins, smiles broadly, gives bear-hugs, stares intensely to show sincerity, and does his level best to (…)

    There are now 500 of our troops there with planes, weapons, equipment and ammunition. Either (…)

    The title of this article is what the notice read on the morning of May 4, 1970 - it sat largely unread in the mail boxes of Kent State University students. Later that day, four students were murdered when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a hillside filled with students - some protesting, some watching, others merely changing classes.
    Whether or not you are old enough to remember the tragedy at Kent State ( http://www.may41970.com ), please pay attention to this (…)
