Whine, whine, whine.  The problems of SE Asia, real or imagined, are not our
fault.  People get the governments they deserve.

I'm not part of an anti-war movement, and never have been.  I supported the
president going into this war.  But I agree with the entire planet, with
the exception of a handful of blind rightist American imperialists, in
condemning the vicious, unnecessary, unjust, corrupt, thoroughly inhumane,
diplomatically defunct, and blatantly stupid piece of strategy that the war
in Iraq has become.
