Last to Die for Bush's and His Pals' @#&*%$#^ Lies
By Meteor Blades

I don’t know anything about the psychology of numbers. Specifically, the magnetism round numbers seem to have for us, specifically round numbers ending in zeroes. It’s an attraction that can’t be denied. Such a number is closing in on us right now. It could arrive before the New Year. A number that will receive – no matter how transient and meaningless it actually is – extensive blog and megamedia attention. 3000. The horrible tally of U.S. troops dead in Iraq.

Let me tell you about two young men. Their résumés are short. They died young.

1. kpete, thank you so much...everybody should read this

This is a heartbreaking post, and tells, in realistic and grim words, what Bush has brought about, and the painful choices we are left with. A war which was concocted on lies, and was wrong to begin with, will not be made right now, because there has been too much pain, death, and destruction.

Of the many, many tragic facts surrounding this whole wretched business, is that the ones who lied to get it, led by Bush, are the ones who resist ending it. Those of us who were vehemently opposed from the beginning are, I think, the ones who are pained the most by the sorrow and destruction of it all.

I truly don't think Bush has the intellectual or emotional maturity to realize what he has done. Among many lessons to be learned from this, is for all of us to be more protective of our right to vote, and to be sure that one such as he never again have the opportunity to bring this country to the brink of ruin.
