The vice president invoked the memory of Pearl Harbor, the article says.

Of course he did.  Of course he compared that event with 9/ll.

It's what the PNAC had hoped for back in the late 90's, "a catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor", that would set in motion their plan for "Rebuilding America's Defenses".

Isn't that just so nifty how that works out, all neat and tidy-like?

What unmitigated crap.  It's this kind of nonsense that makes it all too easy to think the Bushies had some hand in kicking off this whole thing.

These people have danced on the graves of the 3000 people killed on 9/11, used them as justification for anything and everything they do.

Yet they cannot understand why insurgents in Iraq would want to take down our troops...forgetting that the insurgents are fueled by the death of 100,000 of their kinsman.

Or that the Palestinians have numerous tragic deaths of youths, children, killed by U.S.-supported Israeli troops to fuel their anger and the anger of the Muslim world.

Or the hundreds of thousands of innocents killed in Afghanistan and Chenya, by Putin and his predecessors, the very Putin whose soul Bush looked into so deeply.

These peoples of the Middle East and the Muslim world have suffered far more losses than Pearl Harbor or 9/11 combined; until we elect leaders who'll recognize this and understand that their lack of compassion let alone their lack of conservatism, we can expect that no amount of funding for "Rebuilding America's Defenses" will be enough.

I will be so happy for the day when I can write about this administration in past tense.

If you are east of any other time zone in the U.S., this is for you from fellow Salon blogger Art at Ojo Caliente:

>>Send an e-mail to very single Democrat you know on the West Coast, and every pro-Kerry Republican. Urge them to vote even if the Networks call the election before the polls are closed where they are.

God forbid Kerry should lose! But even if the electoral college falls to Bush it is important that Kerry win the popular vote to make it clear that that the regime is a minority government...

Incidentally, I have also written to the major networks complaining about their stated intention not to hold back on announcing a winner until polls are closed all across the nation.<<

Live with no regrets, people.  Keep the faith, keep fighting!

And MOSH THE VOTE!
