like_a_clown...By which I mean, of course, that Chimpy McCokespoon has just confirmed his intention to muscle our way into Iraq despite the weapons inspections' progress, despite the loud opposition of many prominent nations -- no matter what he says about the world being behind him -- and despite the fact that, hell, even a majority of his own damn people didn't elect him. I guess I could say that this is what we get for letting our election process go to shit way back in good ol' 2000, back in the days when getting a blowjob from an intern was what passed for news. Fuck...we impeach a president for getting extramarital head, but we stand firmly behind a president who will thumb his nose at what's supposed to be the governing body type thing of the whole world and brings hellfire upon a country because, shit, it's gotta be done. Jesus Christ. I have been reduced to posting the LJ entry with the highest profanity (and vulgarity and obscenity) percentage that I think I've posted yet.
I am full of swimming, inarticulate thoughts, and of sorrow. We, as a citizenry, are powerless to stop this government's march to war. Even the millions of demonstrators, the major-league press and the sensible Congressmembers can't do anything about it. Last night, someone said that Iraq is the United States' version of Poland. I don't know quite what I think about that, but it certainly does ring truer than that Iraq is Vietnam Part II. We're not concerned with containing shit. We just want to dominate.
