        Why didn't these anti-war grannies join Sheehan, or the other way
        around? See, this proves that us liberals simply can't unite. It's
        sad. I've lost faith in the Democratic party. Fuck it. -disillusioned

        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.
        \_ When we fight with Red China, what nation will we use as a proxy?

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

Printable version US anti-war grans face no charges Raging Grannies outside Tucson recruitment centre - courtesy of Indymedia Tucson's Raging Grannies have protested weekly for three years Charges have been dropped against five elderly anti-war protesters who tr ied to enlist at a US military recruitment centre, a city prosecutor has said. The women aged between 65 and 81, who belonged to an anti-war group calle d the "raging grannies of Tucson", had been charged with trespassing. They entered the Arizona centre in July asking to go to Iraq instead of t heir children and grandchildren. Prosecutor Laura Brynwood said the charges would have been hard to prove. "Essentially, by the time the police arrived, 10 minutes after the initia l call, they had already left and were back at their protest on the side walk," she was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. "Proving they did not leave after they were requested to leave would be d ifficult." Continued protest A spokeswoman for the group, which has protested at the centre once a wee k for three years, said they welcomed the decision. "We were naturally quite relieved because the charges were absurd in the beginning," said 75-year-old Patricia Birnie. She added that the group would continue to protest at the centre "until t here is no longer a need to be there". The recruitment centre called the police after the women entered the site on 13 July. At the time, the Raging Grannies, who are associated with the Women's Int ernational League for Peace and Freedom, said they "read a statement, sa ng songs, and then we left". Army officials said the protesters had not been serious about enlisting a nd were harassing recruiters. They said those opposed to the Iraq war should contact their legislators rather than bother recruiters.
