From extreme to insane

With Cathy calling for people to rally against the war today, I must agree. I don't know if these infoshop pictures (rated PG) are true, but we better get used to them because this war is coming home. Some think the war is already here. I haven't seen anything yet that hasn't been Bush approved, one way or another.

Reading the stories, it looks like we can call this "Reconstruction" for real. Like the reconstruction in the U.S. south in the decade after the War Between the States we do things like keep the past leaders out of government.

With Buckley calling Iraq a U.S. defeat and al-Sadr damning Rumsfeld for saying he would not get involved in a civil war, I am now preoccupied or perhaps obsessed with America's ostrich-like denial that this thing is lost. Some want to stay there to "help" the people who don't want us there. Others want us there because it will make them money.

This is not extremism. It is now insane!
