Go to Bush's War, or The War Of The Gulf

No, TAPS, you're right. Hiding and avoiding won't make it go away. We
have to do all we can to change the system. I'm backing the Democrats latest push for a withdrawal deadline, of reintroducing it until the president is forced to sign the damned thing just to finance the troops already there. Hopefully, the American people will back this effort (considering the numbers in the polls that say they disagree with the war and the way its going), giving the Democrats -- and their few Republican allies -- the strength needed to buck the president and use it to get our troops out of that hellhole, therefore not leaving it to be the dirty cleanup job of the next president, which is what Dubya really wants. (He doesn't want this war saddled completely on his administration. No matter what he says, he is worried about his legacy.)

I commend you for your restraint. As you say, "Yelling and screaming only polarizes and entrenches." This whole thing makes me want to hide my head in the sand and I know that is not right either.

I'm fully awake, Glennb. Anyone who reads my blogs knows that I'm
totally against the war and for ousting Dubya and his fascist regime. I choose to be more journalistic about my approach. I also realize there isn't a whole helluva lot we can do without the help of other powers that be (Democrats, federal prosecutors, probes, international judicial bodies, etc.). So, given this, I'll work in the way I can be most effective, hoping to sway a few people I know and on Blogit with rational argument. Hopefully, this will effect political change. Yelling and screaming only polarizes and entrenches.

Saul_Relative,
What are you? How about? Geroge Bush should be stripped of his powers as Commander-In-Chief and tried for war crimes, genocide, crimes against the Iraqi People, crimes against the peace. There are many things that this man is and continuing as President of the United States of America should "not" be on the list!
Wake-up!!
