It doesn't matter. We have the world's most powerful GOD, GWBush, saying war is necessary for peace; so strap on an M16 and spread love everywhere.

Thanks for Prohibition and the war against drugs. Thanks for a country where nobody's allowed to mind their own business. Thanks for a nation of finks. Yes, thanks for all the memories-- all right let's see your arms!- William S Burroughs
Why on Earth is GWBush the most popular guy on the planet? Did you vote for this asshole?

How do you know for sure? Did you collect an oath of responsibility before the poll and disclaim your personal efforts afterward?
No, I just don't know many people.

Nice images, but I turned the volume down ;)
Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths...I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? ~Barbara Bush on ABC's "Good Morning America," March 18, 2003.
I don't blame you. Harper's Magazine hosts a panel “Is There a Case for Impeachment?”, discussing President Bush and his policies. Forum speakers include Lewis H. Lapham, Editor of Harper’s Magazine; Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Ranking Member of U.S. House Judiciary Committee; and Michael Ratner, President of Center for Constitutional Rights.

I noticed that the evening news used the word "hundreds" to describe the size of the protest crowds. Also they neglected to mention how many cities held protests across the globe. The reported #s are always disputed, but there is a clear effort to downplay these protests.
