Imagining Justice
So what should greet my eyes like a rude poke earlier this week but news that the American death toll in Iraq for the month of October had reached 100, making it "the fourth deadliest month for American troops since the war began in March 2003"? Meanwhile, as the blood of these brave young soldiers seeps into foreign soil, the second coming of the Three Stooges--Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld--continue to insist, despite all evidence to the contrary, that there is "a plan for victory" and "the outcome is certain. We'll prevail." What a load of horse manure! They can attempt to cover or pretty it up all they want, but, at the end of the day, it still smells like crap and draws flies. Such glib assurances from those who, by proxy, wreak horrible death and destruction anger me deeply.
