I did read about the protests, Kat.

The best slogans (I thought) were 'Make Levees, Not War' and ' Proud of my soldier, ashamed of the war'.

I also heard that the anti-war movement was starting a million dollar ad campaign on t.v.

All up and down the coast, friends have been calling to tell me how angry U.S. citizens are. Katrina seems to have been the 'straw that broke the camels back'. Some Homeland Security!

I hope that the movement has begun and will not die down until Bush and Blair wake up.

I'm not holding my breath, however. It seems to me that the corruption has gone on for so long that it has become an acceptable part of government. They may bring the troops home from Iraq but there will be another war and another after that. Thats how these assholes make their living.

Cheney wants to control the worldwide distribution of energy. He does this for power and for the riches it brings him. If leaders do not co-operate, he finds an excuse to make war. It has nothing to do with what is 'morally' right. We seem to live in world without ethics.
