American Samizdat

Sunday, March 23, 2003. *
Moments after I saw these pics of Iraqi casualties courtesy of Aljazeera I went to Warblogger Watch to see the same pics posted by our friend Amir Butler. In the comments section our friend Philip Shropshire said what I was thinking in between holding down the urge to upend this day's meal: "I guess this is what they mean by liberating the Iraqi people." Of their lives, of their brains, of their hearts and most importantly--of their oil.

Now the mass murderer known as Bush stretches out at Camp David because, how did they put it? "Life must go on"--? For some people, we guess. It must be taxing to be the first dictator of the world. The sheer weight of the historical importance of the post alone is enough to make you reach for the couch, the pretzels, and the remote control. How many years of civilizations have reduced us to this?
