Keith Olbermann let it rip tonight on Countdown. Cry? Yep. Laugh? At the futility, the stupidity of our government? I can't decide what to do. I am so outraged and overwrought by the decision to escalate in Afghanistan.
After we all worked to elect Obama, after we all endured Reagan (don't get me started) and Clinton (Bosnia) and Bush (arrogant, elitist, blind, lying warmonger) - finally a chance? A possibility of peace?
This will take the rest of my life to fight; I've been against war since Vietnam, when I was in high school. Now my kids and grandkids lives will be shaped by war. God help us all.

Also, Keith got something wrong - Eisenhower called it the "Military/Industrial/Congressional Complex." The 'congressional' part always got left out, until everyone just used the first part. Makes too much sense now, don't it?

Yeah, Obama had a chance to do something risky -- like REALLY oppose war as opposed to "opposing" it when you have no power to do anything about it (as he did with Iraq). But instead, more of same.

There are marches on Fed. Bldgs in 40 cities Dec 2! Also check Mike Moore's site. He's linked in with WCW.
That is JUST what we need - something big, and huge, and freeway-stopping. SHOPPING-stopping would be even better!
I live 2 hrs south of DC and will be there with bells on.
