When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

In the UK, between 52 and 72% of the public oppose the Bush Iraq war plans, according to UK Guardian columnist Gary Younge:
To me it's good news that Britons of both left and right oppose their entanglement with Bush's war and are taking steps to be sure their Government knows it. SAturday Sept. 28 there was a huge war protest in London. US citizens should get out and protest too.

Anti Iraq attack
In the UK, between 52 and 72% of the public oppose the Bush Iraq war plans, according to UK Guardian columnist Gary Younge:
Between 52% and 72% of the public in Britain oppose Britain's involvement in the bombing of Iraq. This is a war that we can stop before it starts. Opposition to it is popular. We must work out how to make sure it both persists and prevails.
The case against the bombing has been made by others on these pages.... Given the volatile situation in the Middle East and the certain power vacuum left by Saddam's ousting, even the ramifications of a succesful mission could be catastrophic. Answers to the key questions - why him? why now? and what next? - are either unavailable or unconvincing.
To me it's good news that Britons of both left and right oppose their entanglement with Bush's war and are taking steps to be sure their Government knows it. SAturday Sept. 28 there was a huge war protest in London. US citizens should get out and protest too.
