What kind of human being are you if you let your friend or neighbor send his kid to Iraq without you trying to tell them the truth about everything and talk him out of it?

If you know anyone whose kid has gone into the military and you let them without telling them what 9-11 really was and what these wars really are -- then you are the lowest moral sleeze imposter of I friend I know and I don't want anything to do with you.

And if you have been in the military and call yourself an American or Patriot - then how come you have not spoken up against enlistment and participation when you know that America's worst-ever enemy has gotten control of government and is using it to destroy us -- using the Iraq war to destroy us. You have betrayed the constitution and your country and the lives of our boys in arms by your silence -- and you know it.

No, brother. You don't get offended at me. I get offended and righteously hopping mad at your moral failure.

You think I have gone over the top. I haven't. You have. Get yourself together and get it right.

P.S. I say that during the Republican Convention 4 million people go to Philadelphia where "Rocky" ran up the stairs -- the birthplace of the Constitution -- and stage the American people's Convention of Rejection of the faulty party process. No candidates. No 9-11. No war. Just a mass statement that we reject what the two parties have given us and we want a new and better way picking the candidates we vote on -- a more democratic or constituional way -- a less "plutodemocratic" way of chosing our leaders -- that we gather simply to say we don't like the choice the system is giving us and that we know that we really all feel the same way about it. That message -- and nothing else.

It really is the most rational course to take. But when you you ever rational?
