To the Tribune,
Thanks for feeding the "Fear and Smear" campaign sponsored by Bush and Company in regards to the Monday Tribune headline regarding the poll that states that
"45% of Utahans polled think dissent aids enemies"!
So the protest about economic policies, lying to the public, taking away constitutional rights from citizens by spying on our own, "Good Job Brownie" is giving aid to the enemy?
I'm so confused; is the "enemy" the people who think the current administration is doing a poor job of protecting it's citizens? I can't see terrorists thinking "This is so great! The American people who disagree with Bush's policies of disrespecting the citizens of the United States are protesting! That sure gives me aid and comfort!"
Just for that, I'm going to show up on Wednesday's rally with a sign that says "It's the economy, stupid! Not just the war!"

It seems we have this kind of thing every time the US gets involved in a drawn out conflict overseas, this kind of anti-sedition sentiment seems to pop up like a plaigue - usually among the uneducated and fanatical right-wingers alike. I can feel a rant starting, so i'll continue this thread over at my blog...
rant away my boy, your rants are like music...
I'm following you Pied Piper
The most worrying thing is that they are aiming for Iran. They are only doing this because, effectively, they have zero support on the ground in Iraq. Iran is now able to pull the strings in a bigger way, this is especially so since the victory of Hezbollah.
We may just see very soon a situation in Iraq where the body bags, American and British, are piling up.
Regardless of whether you support the war or not, or whether you suport the Iraqi resistance or not, this will cause a catastophe for the ruling classes of Britain, America and even Canada (They have troops in Afganistan, as you probably know.).
With the continued shrugging off of Western Imperialism within Latin America, we have a situation where you can say that Bush and Blair are both, technically, fucked.
What happens to their legacy and the leaders who follow can now be shaped to a large degree by the stop the war movement.
