...While we so ardently scream about WMDs, about the wickedness of the Baath party, about the presence of terrorists, and toss around phrases like "liberty" and "military operation," while we struggle with the rebuilding of Iraq, it would behoove us to give a thought to what was lost as well...

...Forcing someone to work for the state; forcing someone to kill or be killed; forcing someone to do anything at the point of a gun - under threat of prison or even death - IS involuntary servitude. Of all the forms of slavery that have existed throughout history, forcing someone to fight and die in war is by far the most disgusting...

...Benchmarks, invalid progress reports, passing on the blame to Maliki and his corrupt government, lying assertions of how things are improving in Iraq, the non-stop shell game White House & Congress are playing with us...O what fools we're made out to be! Is it so difficult to see? The US is in Iraq for the duration, and that means indefinitely...

...This idea is not new; periodically someone comes up with the idea that, with the U.S. fighting two wars, there is insufficient human cannon fodder to keep them going and prepare for Mr. Bush's next potential imperialistic misadventure. But, the draft is not now and never will be the answer, whether in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else...

...While rewriting the past & predicting the future, the bloody present escapes Bush. He says little about today: the daily deaths of Iraqi men, women & children, & U.S. soldiers; the suffering of refugees fleeing their homes to an uncertain future; the anguish of parents unable to care for their starving children because of his war...

...There are over 100,000 private contract personnel in Iraq today and most of them are replacing what in the past has been tasks handled by Army personnel. So what you ask is wrong with hiring non-military men and women to help the soldiers? You might want to consider these few tidbits...

...Unlike McDonald's franchises which have found success in much of the world, McPolitics is probably reserved for the American political palate and no one else. One doubts that it meets enough criteria for export, even if aided by heavy subsidies from both the US State Department and the imperial peacekeepers at the Pentagon...

...If you support religious freedom then you must grant the same freedoms to other religions. Therefore, the Senate should next open with a Wiccan prayer, a chant to Zeus, a page from the Tao Te Ching, a paragraph from the Quran, and so on. But fundamentalists don't want this. Instead they seek the transformation of America into Iran...

...James Howard Kunstler's book, The Long Emergency, makes it clear that our illusionary world of comfort and relative luxury is about to be shattered. America, under its present leadership, is like the Roman empire-growing weak from luxury, sloth & inflation on the inside, & assailed by a tough, fanatical adversary on our frontiers...

...As a taxpayer and a voter, I want to know what happened. I want to know what happened to my Constitution, which you swore to protect and defend, not shred and discard. It is NOT just a g-d piece of paper. It is what distinguishes the United States of America...

...The problem in America is extremism. The extremists will never be satisfied of course, but they have no business at this table anyway. Their next sip of icy cold Koolaid is being served up by the White House chefs, as the concept of "We the People" is burned quietly in the background...

...Sadly, he died on July 26, 2003 outside Baghdad, Iraq, when the convoy he was riding in was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades. Remember Jonathan for his goodness; he was the opposite of his deceivers. Jonathan died defending what he believed to be his duty. His deceivers wouldn't even be kind to his mother's sacrifice...
