While I recognize I need to get my arms around the constant rage I feel as I remain tuned in to the politics, I also feel as a citizen of the world an obligation to do something to work against this arrogant warmongering regime in Washington.
Longhair Steve's posting of the article by Max Cleland was interesting. While in Vietnam a couple weeks ago, I finally read McNamara's book. Though there are indeed great differences between Iraq and Vietnam, the similarities are great, starting with national arrogance, pride, and too little desire to avoid the horrors of war.
Pleae keep on sharing the horrors of war to whoever will listen. It's part of your destiny.
Cheers,
Randala
