And yet.........

Cards on the table I don't like George Bush. i didn't like him when he was signing death warrants with alacrity and apparent enthusiasm. When I heard his election campaigns had been paid for by the armaments industry. I thought you would be at war before too long.

And yet......

it is a time of war. other young men are putting their lives on the line to carry out the orders of your elected leaders.

both wars seemed an understandable reaction to 9/11. to an awful lot of people it seemed that there had to be some payback for pissing about with America.

and its traditional to express loyalty to a war leader.

Lessons learned

if you really think its worthwhile to protest. make it a meaningful, thoughtful, dignified protest - not a bloody tee shirt.
Start putting together the organisation that will ensure neither party picks someone like this again.
