1. How awful is this?

How awful is it that while 300,000 plus are demonstrating in DC to bring these soldiers home safely, another soldier dies in Iraq?

There is some patently awful about that.

Just awful.

5. The propaganda power point presentation on Iran

...went on laying the groundwork for referral to the UN security council and the prospect of war with Iran. It was little different than Powell's fraudulent presentation to the UN on Iraq.

Are the major Asian powers going to let the continued drift to major war in Asia by the Bushistas go on? This is probably the only way to get rid of the plutocrats.
