"The president of the United States does not have the sense God gave a duck—so it’s up to us. You and me, Bubba.
I don’t know why Bush is just standing there like a frozen rabbit, but it’s time we found out. The fact is we have to do something about it. This country is being torn apart by an evil and unnecessary war, and it has to be stopped now.
This war is being prosecuted in our names, with our money, with our blood, against our will. Polls consistently show that less than 30 percent of the people want to maintain current troop levels. It is obscene and wrong for the president to go against the people in this fashion. And it’s doubly wrong for him to send 20,0000 more soldiers into this hellhole, as he reportedly will announce next week."
So writes Molly Ivins in a piece on truthdig republished on CommonDreams.org. It's a passionate and reasoned appeal and arguments she puts forward to stop all that is Iraq and the mess there.
