These neo-Con fascists are so determined to get us into another war that it's frightening. They are convinced that by causing yet another war, the US will have no choice but to vote in another Republican because they've cowed the nation into believing only Republicans can fight and win wars (although I'm trying to think of a single example in that last 150 years).

I try not to be overly critical of the government, because I feel like there's no way I could personally be involved with it's shadier sides ... and I can't criticize what I can't do. But this thing, in particular, and the war in general, makes me so angry that I can't help but believe that this is human error - and quite possibly human INTENT. Whether the impetus was oil or an economical boost or simply a son trying to step outside of his father's shadow (by leading the country on a quest to dipose a dictator his father spared) ... I don't care.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and I'm not terribly radical with my beliefs, but this is so very REAL that I can't choose but to believe the worst. If I was liberal before, I'm becoming downright extremist.
