Hey there. Gene Lyons has a new
column up, but the only line you need to remember is this one:
"Attacking Baghdad in response to 9/11 is the equivalent of attacking China to avenge Pearl Harbor."
Thank you, Gene.
If you haven't been to
The Funny Farm lately, you should check it out. Tom's doing good work over there. As for me, I bumble along, ambivalent about the war (ambivalent as in I'm totally against it, and I want it to be over with minimum loss of life, but I don't want it to go too easy because a quick and decisive victory would be another feather in the cap of the fraudulent boy president, and I cannot abide that), and trying to not get too caught up in my own or anybody else's opinions.
As the Third Patriarch of
Zen put it, "do not seek the Truth; only cease to cherish opinions." A tall order for any political junky.
In the meantime, as we are "liberating" oppressed people abroad, we are being stifled at home. All glory to the Homeland.
So, here's the
plan for war without end. All glory to the Homeland.
