"The intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
Facts being fixed? Read the memo in full here. I don't think my skills are needed to interpet this quote nor put it in context for anyone. The war is a sham and people, Iraqi and American, lost their lives. My question is how does a population not revolt in light of this kind of high-level conformation? Where is your moral compass? Where does the Truth lie? I guess I'd have more respect for Bush if he came out and said from day one that, "If you want cheap gas for your SUVs, were going to need to invade a country and scarfice some lives on the other side of the world." But instead he goes on and on about freedom and democracy, as if our class-based, materialist society is the pinicale of human civilization. There is no democracy at the point of a gun. Isnt that common sense? Am I really just to darn idealistic?
I know what freedom is. I know what equality is. I know what democracy is. We all do. Our souls want to be free. This is a line in the sand. Im taking back those words-- democracy and freedom. Im offically making them the people's-- the citizen's-- again.
Now... for lunch.
