One more voice: Get out of Iraq now. Anna Quinlan in Newsweak.

Another voice that might reach the masses in the dentist's office: Anna Quinlan's piece in latest issue of Newsweek:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17080793/site/newsweek/ A powerful last paragraph!

<snip> Tomorrow. That's when the United States should begin to bring combat forces home from Iraq.

Over the last year many Americans have finally realized how thoroughly they were sold a bill of goods. The picture of the peaceable kingdom painted by the Bush administration nearly four years ago was that of a country, riven by religious and ethnic violence for centuries, suddenly turned into the equivalent of a Connecticut suburb: town meetings, friendly neighbors, a common purpose, perhaps a shopping mall.

Nearly four years of photographs and footage of dusty corpses, cinderblock barriers, shredded cars and bereaved families, and the absurdity of that view is absolute.
No one tries to sell that snake oil anymore.

There is no better way to support those who have fought valiantly in Iraq than to guarantee that not one more of them dies in the service of the political miscalculation of their leaders. Not one more soldier. Not one more grave. Not one more day. Bring them home tomorrow.

1. Here We Go Again - Anti War Video-Our children are not to be wasted!

I have a young son. I started out late. Most think I am his Grandpa. He is the world to me.
Our children are not to be wasted. Just the thought of what families are going thru rips my guts out.
To have our children die from a war based on lies told to us by our leaders and then to see this slime squirm around trying not to answer to their deception is beyond debate!
We have no more true leaders just a bunch of second rate politician con men. You know it and I sure know it. Even with the last election same old same old.
Is there something inherently wrong with our system of government?
Or is it that we have mutated that which our fore-fathers designed?
Has our civility allowed the vultures to reign?
