It Will Only Get Worse
Despite flurries of promises that the so-called "insurgency" is "just about out of steam," "nearly nailed," "pressing for a political solution," and "finally ready to 'deal,'" our boys and girls continue to spill their blood in the occupation phase of a blatantly unjust, unquestionably illegal, and patently imprudent war of aggression. But how to express--intelligently--the outrage we all feel? How to capture the unarticulated but no less real rage behind the Downing Street Memo revelation that indeed, after all is said and done, it is true that the administration CONNED us into a war, using only WMD as a convenient pretext, that it had decided upon well in advance.
Indeed, how else to explain that three independent commissions said we were "all wrong" on Iraq's WMDs. Is it feasible that we were really that ignorant?
No, it's not. Nor is it easy to articulate all the reason's we decent, ordinary, real Americans feel so outraged about what has been done to other undeserving human beings in our name, with our money, and with the flesh and blood of our sons, daughters, parents, relatives, and friends.
One way to help capture, articulate, and channel that outrage is to buy, read, and spread the new, groundbreaking, comprehensive series on the Iraq war, Neo-CONNED! and Neo-CONNED! Again. Nowhere else will you find such refreshing honesty, crystalline thinking, and gut-wrenching candor. Read it, digest it, reflect upon it, share it with friends, and even with enemies.
Then let its ability to articulate clearly what up 'til now you may have only felt as an instinct into concrete, well-thought-out action, to take back our government from the ideologues who have captured it and who threaten to plunge this nation--and the world--into another world war.
