So are we straight now on the situation, on the reality of the system, on what's really going on? If not, let's recap:
• George W. Bush is a raging sociopath who has perpetrated mass murder and revels in it.

• The Democratic leadership says we shouldn't tell the truth about George W. Bush and the mass murder in Iraq.

• The national media think the whole mass-murdering bloodbath is one big joke.

• The Republicans say the only thing wrong with George W. Bush is that he hasn't perpetrated enough mass murder.

• These are the people and factions and institutions in command of the government, the military, and the national debate.

Still think working within this utterly corrupt closed-loop of a system will produce meaningful change? Well, good luck to you then. We'll see you one day down by the river -- when you're trying to wash the blood from your hands.
