Appeasement

Well, it seems that the newspaper letter calling me an appeaser in the tradition of Chamberlain was just the first inkling of a nationwide Rovian attack on anti-war folks. Anyone who wants to stop making enemies of innocent people in the Middle East is an appeaser.

Arguing to NOT drop bombs on people who never hurt us is suddenly the equivalent of offering Poland to Hitler so he would not attack England. I am sorry, all you Bushbots, that logic just does not pass the laugh test. Rove must be getting desperate.

If the Republicans lose control of either house of Congress in November, Washington will be flooded by subpoenas for hearings on the misuse of intelligence to start an unjust war. We might actually find out how the WMD scare story was born and survived the obvious evidence against it.

Here is hoping that happens and the whole sordid mess becomes general knowledge. There will be nothing better than the nation coming to realize how they were fooled. It might just prevent a recurrence for the next 20 or 30 years. Unfortunately, because of generational turn over, these lessons need to be relearned periodically. If that wasn't true, the lesson of Viet Nam would have prevented Iraq.
