So Iran's the one, now, huh? Betcha Wolfowitz is bloody drooling all over his damn se'f. Baghdad is bad, but Teheran gonna be unimaginable . . . nuke's 'n' all . . .
"Grrrly boys", eh, Awnuld?? Fuck you . . .
Are people in communities around military bases in the US at all prepared for what's gonna happen when (if?) thousands of battle-whacked boys and girls come back home? . . .
Come what may in November, we're gonna be VERY sorry we didn't stick with Howard Dean. And I'm pissed! I'm pissed at him for rolling up the show when it got bumpy; and pissed at myself for succumbing so early to the DNC's crap-'n'-flush . . .
If imperial war is the most evident generator of "terrorism", isn't making "war on terrorism" just about the most . . . aahhhhhfuggedaboudit . . .
This makes me dizzy: when it comes right down to it, in the post-capitalist world, wars are fought mainly because there's profit in it. Billions/trillions are passing from the common people through the "government" cash converter into the pockets of the warmakers so they may make their wars to make profit by protecting their profit. This is not "free-market" capitalism, because all the killing and destruction make less markets, not more. So . . .how do we make peace more profitable than war?

"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
