I was going to feature some links about Turkey, the inspections, and the million kids that are going to die. You can read them if you want, but I would rather you read this little book. You can download it for free — it's a .pdf file. It's only 39 pages, a bunch of pictures, and the print is big. After reading it ask yourself "Why the fuck are we going to kill these people?"

On a Small Bridge in Iraq

If we can't stop this war, then what hope is there of stopping the next war? International politics will be driven not by discussion , but by military force. In the city of Nasiriyah, a man was painting the curbstones white and green around a traffic rotary. I only saw him for an instant out of a moving car, but I can still see the way his hand worked the paintbrush. A simple action people do the same way everywhere. Just trying to get along, trying to live comfortably with the family and neighbors. What else is there, really? I believe we can still avoid this war
