An Honset Conversation

Steve Gillard:

What I want people to do is be honest.

If you will not serve in Iraq, and no one you know will serve, stop expecting someone else to do what you will not.

Therefore, it is time to stop calling for more troops, or the US to make Iraq safe. We cannot do this and even Americans are refusing to join the fight. It is time to look at your actions and realize, that despite your ideals, you oppose continuing this war. In practical terms, you have decided that this war is not worth your life or anyone you know. And million of Americans have joined you in this decision.

So, with this fact evident, it is time to call for US troops to withdraw from Iraq. Not save it, not add more boots on the ground. You have already voted by your actions. It is time that you match it with your words.

Question of The Day

Is there any idea how long a last throe lasts?

Check out the whole exchange. Hilarious.

I'm a Bad Blogger

I haven't been posting much lately, mainly because watching as our Democracy is dismantled and our country's moral standing demolished by our government (mainly the Republicans but the aquiesence of many of our Democratic elected officials is also quite disheartening) has left me too depressed for words. The other reason is that there are many more eloquent voices out there saying all the things I think, only better. One of them is The Poor Man, so if you read nothing else today, read this.
