the war against iraq is as disastrous as it is unnecessary; perhaps in terms of its wisdom, purpose and motives, the worst war in american history. our military men and women were not called to defend america but rather to attack iraq. they were not called to die for, but rather to kill for, their country. what more unpatriotic thing could we have asked of our sons and daughters?

(thanks to my mother, who taught me to look with care, who sent me this card, 
which features, rather than a fuzzy bee, a painting of the reverend coffin.)
