Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
The president, his War Cabinet, and the neocon punditocracy sold us on this war by implying Saddam was implicated in 9/11, that he had a vast arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, that he was working on an atom bomb, that he would transfer his terror weapons to al-Qaeda. We had to invade, destroy, and disarm his axis-of-evil regime. Only thus could we be secure. None of this was true.

Help WWJD Pay Its Bills!
Congratulations -- you are on the same side as Pat Buchanan. Will your favorable use of David Duke quotes be long in coming?
Two things can be said about this post:
1. Politics makes strange bedfellows of us all.
2. Stick around long enough, and you will agree with everybody about something. Even Pat Buchanan. Nobody is wrong all the time. Even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day.
James, do you agree with Pat Buchanan only twice a day, or all the time? "War Cabinet" and "neocon punditocracy" are paranoid delusional terms coined by a right wing nut job.
Your question is not relevant. :-)
Ultimately, relevance is a matter of opinion. If you choose to deem the question irrelevant, that is your prerogative. But doing so begs a second question... WHY? Are there aspects of either question that would stretch the bounds of your reality to a point that you choose not to grasp at this time?
