Benjamin Franklin said “The only two things in life that are certain are death and taxes.” There is a third certainty for the American people that is sure as the sun rising or any law of nature. In the future any day that the war and occupation of Iraq continues you can say with certainty “It only gets worse from here.” There is no getting around the basic fact. The Iraq War was plotted and hatched with lies and deceptions, so it is evil in nature. As long as Americans go along with the war (…)

For people of faith who trusted in this administration
11 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
This note is for people of faith (belief without evidence) who are waking up to the excruciating reality that this time, when they did place their faith in an administration who they thought were looking out for what was right and in their interest, they ended up being manipulated and exploited. They gave their lives and families for megalomanical madmen who couldn’t care less about the same people who gave them their trust, hard earned money, and blood.
It is not too late to stem the (…) -

The G8 must seize the opportunity to address the wider issues at the root of such atrocities
by Robin Cook
I have rarely seen the Commons so full and so silent as when it met yesterday to hear of the London bombings. A forum that often is raucous and rowdy was solemn and grave. A chamber that normally is a bear pit of partisan emotions was united in shock and sorrow. Even Ian Paisley made a humane plea to the press not to repeat the offence that occurred in Northern Ireland when (…) -

Please Don’t Go Back to Sleep

5 commentsDear America: I am longing to reach you — crossing this river of indifference and consumption and denial. I am trying to find you, reaching out through the desperate limitations of words and descriptions, swimming through the rhetoric of terror and God.
I need you to wake up. The house is on fire and you are still sleeping, lulled by the intoxication of smoke and mirrors. I need you to wake up and I know that shaking you, scaring you will only make you cling to your sleep and sleep more. (…) -
Wearing Red to Support the Troops
9 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
10 commentsJuly 9, 2005 — A few days ago, I received an all-users e-mail from a colleague asking me to show my support for the troops in Iraq by wearing red on Fridays. The message was couched in highly patriotic terms, with the implication that if I didn’t wear red on Fridays, I didn’t support the troops and was unpatriotic. This crystallized a problem I’ve been wrestling with for some time now-how to show my outrage at this miserable war while still supporting the troops.
I need to jump back in (…)
