Stop the war mongers....

I wonder how much longer the people of our country are going to put up with the criminals who insist that on war and the expansion of that war? Adding to the list of war criminals, I must submit the name of Senator Joseph Lieberman, who has been the most ardent supporter of the illegal war in Iraq, and now works to incite conflict in Iran. I don't think he is as stupid as George W. Bush or as inherently evil as Dick Cheney, but he is certainly as determined to see us in an expanded conflict with a country that is far larger, richer and more organized then Iraq.

But let us step back for a minute. What is our beef with Iran? That they are working towards nuclear capability? Why would they do that? What in the world would make them insecure about their sovereign borders being safe from pre-emptive invasion? Could it be that we funded Iraq in their war against Iran in the 1980's? Could it be that our country invaded Iraq, a defenseless sovereign nation that had not fired a single shot at us? I don't know about you, but if I was Iran, I would worry about the US very much, and do everything in my power to work to protect myself against an obviously irrational and dangerous rogue country from invading my borders.

Mr. Lieberman and the rest of the neo-cons should be silenced, at least from positions of power, as their words are like shouting fire in a crowded theatre. The theatre in this case, is the seldom used, paranoid brain of George W. Bush. No telling what will happen when that pathetic, dangerous failure of a president will do when he panics. Oh, wait...we do know what happens when he panics: Iraq.

If we had rational and intelligent leadership in this country, I really wouldn't mind Holy Joe spouting off his reasons for dangerous, deadly, costly and illegal warfare (other then personal disgust). Rational leadership could easily dismiss his rhetoric as the rantings of a violent crank who happened to get elected. But in irrational times, when the fantasies of milktoast middle aged men- to commit acts of breathtaking violence destruction- are committed while wrapped in our hijacked flag and constitution, then words that add fuel to this evil flame are wrong and even criminal.

We should be working for peace, not increased war. The war in Iraq is illegal by all international and domestic standard. It should be viewed as such, and the body of rhetoric against the Iraq war should always mention it's illegality.
