••can ye pass the acid test?••

ye who enter here be afraid, but do what ye must -- to defeat your fear ye must defy it.

& defeat it ye must, for only then can we begin to realize liberty & justice for all.

time bomb tick tock? nervous tic talk? war on war?

or just a blog crying in the wilderness, trying to make sense of it all, terror-fried by hate radio and FOX, the number of whose name is 666??? (coincidence?)

being the opposition is tough

take iraq (please!).

civil war might be inevitable whether we leave or stay, but nobody knows for certain, so if you advocate pullout, and we stay, and it becomes obvious what a hole we've dug ourselves into, you're proven right.

but you take a big chance that you'll get what you want and we'll exit and then the lid will blow off.

then hawks will cry "told you so" and the fickle public will reelect them.

frustrating!

but you got to do what's right.

  1. You're right, we've got to do what right. Too bad we can't turn back the clock a few years when the decision was (had the right people cared to actually listen to the arguments) was simpler, and easier. But we can't do that, so the challenge becomes defining "the right thing." Wish I knew....
