7. The last decent thing I heard from Matthews
was his article in the San Francisco Chronicle dated August 25, 2002 entitled "To Iraq And Ruin". Here is just a small portion of what he wrote:

"...This invasion of Iraq, if it goes off, will join the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Desert One, Beirut and Somalia in the history of military catastrophe.

What will set it apart, distinguishing it for all time, is the immense — and transparent — political stupidity.

A mission to attack one isolated enemy will end up isolating us. A mission justified by the fight with terrorism will give birth to millions of terrorist-supporting haters. In every cafe from Manila to Casablanca, just whom do you think they will be rooting for? Just whom will their kids be killing themselves for? ..."


Since that time, Matthews has been pure whore for the Bush Administration. What happened to the man who wrote those words?
