Hell, if I knew who the idjits were who did this, I'd kick them in the 'nads.

Never mind that Dictator Shrub 'n cronies have been trying to do the same thing to people who disagree with him since PRIOR to 9/11 - C.F. "Free Speech Zones", "If you speak against us, you're a traitor", and other goodies from the White House.

I'm against this war in the form it is currently taking. I'm for getting Mr. Hussein out of power - but not in a way that ends up turning the whole thing into another Viet Nam, what with your chimp ready to sell out the Kurds to the Turks. Yup, just create another oppressed minority which will be ready to blow itself up in 20 years. Really good policy there.

And hell, Korea's the bigger fish right now - Bush just doesn't want to look stupid by admitting this, and maybe secretly he's hoping that California gets nuked by N. Korea, so that he can get rid of a bunch of useless (to him) U.S. citizens who aren't backing his Eternal Rulership. I doubt it, but I wouldn't put it past him.
