I doubt that anyone reading this blog can relate to the mindless automatons in the above cartoon (David Rees' "Get Your War On".) But we cannot ignore the fact that quite a large percentage of the population did buy into the Bush war machine propaganda. Sadly and incomprehensibly, people either buy into it now or, as the cartoon illustrates, are indifferent to the incredible crime this invasion and occupation was and continues to be that Bush's war drum keeps beating. You were right in 2002 and 2003 when you protested the war, you are right today to call for its end, but it won't amount to a hill of beans unless we keep the voices of truth alive and loud and end this fucking war.

Very well said, Thelonius. It is incomprehensible to me as well that we are not screaming in the streets.
And those we elected in November have fell down on the job and still find themselves intimidated by a draconian Republican party. We even have to defend the propaganda being spread to Iran. Is this possible? How is this possible?
We went in illegally and screwed it up so badly, yet we are the traitors for not "supporting the fucking troops." It is time to say end the war once and for all.
good post, dude.
