i was kinda hoping that. among other things, your (and other bloggers') writing, the ACLU ads and our contacting our congress critters to express our outrage might have an affect. -- selise

"Hoping." I have grown to truly despise that word. You and Timberman keep writing those letters though.

I wonder if they recycle all of that shredded paper? You might want to do the trees a favor and just email.

Should the US start bombing Iran, it will take nothing less than a shutdown of the US economy, by and for American citizens, and a massive march and sit in of Washington D.C. until this administration resigns.

Wouldn't it be just a little too fucking late for all that then? We should let the bombs (possibly nukes) fall before we decide to "take back our government?"

To be straight up about it, I think our military leaders will be forever thought of as cowards if they don't put a stop to this shit Bush and the rest of his murderous cabal have in mind before it gets started.-- Kitt

Kitt, Kitt, Kitt... always wanting others to do its job for it, so it can continue to sit on its ass and add to its 600+ comments on a blog.

Putting a stop to these madmen is your job Kitt. Yours and mine. Ours. The American people's job.

Sorry -- 700+ comments.

...a military that understands that it has a constitutional duty to refuse an order that violates international law

This president defends all his actions as legal, what general should we allow to interperate the laws? -- JBinMO

Seriously. When it comes to the question of what orders to disobey, all a General or any other military professional can/should do is refuse to carry out what they perceive to be unlawful orders and retire. Or in the case of your average bullet catching grunt (who can't retire), take it in the ass for disobeying an unlawful order (which is what happens 99% of the time). Those actions are enough and speak volumes. Anyone advocating military personnel attempt anything more than that doesn't understand how our civilian - military interaction is supposed to work and is begging for trouble.

Don't sweat Kitt. With 700+ comments posted to an internet blog in a matter of 5 months, well... there is alot of emotional investment in that. S/he does her best to offend and drive folks away so s/he can be alone with Glenn but it hasn't worked out so well. There is some bitterness there.

And, by the way, I'm a he. If you were in my front of me in the real world you would pull back on your macho bullshit of insults.-- Kitt

Hmmm, let's see if I understand correctly: If you and I were face to face I would be so intimidated by your manliness that I would check myself, but... wait for it... I am the one spouting "macho bullshit insults?"

Riiight.

lol. Ok, he-man it is then. I didn't know obviously.

asshole who has been stocking me... -- Kitt the Victim

"Stocking me". Interesting. Stocking. I would take that as a compliment -- that I am stocking your brain with useful information and/or truth but, I think you meant to write "stalking."

Trust me, as a 38 year old former Marine with a mortgage payment, a masters thesis waiting to be written, and full social activism schedule, I have neither the time nor the inclination to want to stalk anyone. Let alone an ineffectual internet blogger such as yourself. Sorry, you will just have to look for someone else to fulfill your bizarre fantasies. Do feel free to shoot some more anger and invective my way though. It is entertaining.
