    Launching a war is the rational response

    ... of those who profit the most by it.

    And why wouldn't it be? As the Democratic Congress has amply demonstrated, there will be no sanctions against those who propagate lie after lie in the rabid pursuit of war. The war-loving politicians in this country are free to violate any law, any treaty and any moral code because no one - including the American people - will stop them.

    But, as any number of the usual circle jerks who habitually use Salon's letters as their own discussion forum can attest - as has Joan Walsh - Bush's war will not wind down while he remains in office. So, the only thing left for Democrats to do is perform the usual moral theatrics to the applause of the Democratic rank & file until one of them "wins" the next presidential race. Brava!
