Feb. 2, 2007, 7:46 p.m.It's so strange, i just made a comparasion of Bush to Hitler on another thread a little while ago, and here it was in picture for me, Lord!
"I hope that your money can buy back your soul", such true words for such evil men. You can see the devil in their faces.

Feb. 2, 2007, 8:01 p.m.I did fine - no tears - until they started to show the children. WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO ANYONE!!!! Sick and evil people. In my heart I'm hugging every person who is suffering. May justice be served somehow, someway.

Feb. 2, 2007, 8:10 p.m.I heard from my son in Baghdad; he says they are not showing what is going on over here. For those of you who don't know, he is a medic Special Forces.
"Eventually it's going to get out," he said to me on the phone.

Feb. 2, 2007, 8:31 p.m.Anger follows hard on the tears and pain. What if you could go back in time to prevent Hitler's reign of terror? Would you try - should you try? Were the average citizens of Nazi Germany as guilty as their leaders, or at least complicit in their crimes?
I don't pray as often as most, but I fervently pray that Congress will be able to stop our headlong rush through the "corporatism" that we already live in to the fascism that Mussolini used to 'keep the trains running on time.'

Feb. 2, 2007, 8:39 p.m.That has always been a very powerful song, Bob Dylan is a true American that writes from his heart and soul.
Combined with the images it is just so moving, and if it does
not move you, I would suggest that you have someone check to see if you have a pulse.
Pupi, do get angry, but channel it into action!

Feb. 2, 2007, 8:59 p.m.Amazing1,
This is the most moving post I have ever seen here!
Thank you very, very much for finding it and sharing it with us!
This Song and this photo journal should be seen by everyone of us human beings and should be burned into our soul!
Thank you, Bob Dylan, for waking us up again!
This is the ugly, evil face of war that should forever be kept in our conscience, just like the holocaust!
We must promise to ourselves and to the world:
"WE WILL NEVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN! WE SWEAR ON OUR FAITH, OUR CONSCIENCE AND THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN THAT WE WILL FOREVER GUARD OUR WORLD AGAINST THESE EVIL MONSTERS THAT GET BORN AGAIN AND AGAIN! SO HELP US GOD!"
Fortunately for us, our Constitution shows us the way to eradicate these monsters and evil brutes:
Impeachment Now, Vigilance Forever!
We will never forget these innocent victims!
Peace and Blessings!

Feb. 2, 2007, 11:59 p.m.Having lived through the war Bob Dylan was writing about, I have never in my life witnessed anything this powerfully moving.
Mr Bush. Mr. Cheney. Your days are numbered and the numbers are running short. Thanks be to the real God, not the one you invoke to support your insatiable greed and blood lust, for that.

Feb. 3, 2007, 3:01 a.m.The quote at the beginning is from Former President Dwight Eisenhower, He speaks of the Military Industrial Complex. A very important quote in hind sight.
Here is a clip with footage of the address from the documentary "why we fight"

Feb. 3, 2007, 6:54 a.m.As an American citizen, I demand that these people who are acting as my leaders and representing my country while concealing the slaughtering of these innocent lives, be held responsible. If it was up to me, I would cloth everyone of these American traitors in business suits, give them a parachute and fly them over Iraq. "Happy landing butchers". It's a solution that maybe can offer some small token of consolation to these Middle Eastern people and their culture. I am disgracefully sadden over this outrageous genocide brought on by a gang of political mobsters that have hijacked the American political system. These corporate criminals in collaboration with the capitalist media are failing the people by purposely manipulating this social democracy. America's perversion with perpetual war must change!

Feb. 3, 2007, 10:02 a.m.My feeling is that the story ought to stay under the Title Politics. Afterall, it's the Bush/Cheney politics that are the pushers of "Lies and Deceit . They are the Political Masters of war. They do not govern, and yes they continually cause harm, but one needs to be reminded that this all began due to Their Politics.
Classic Dylan.
Video such as this one can be viewed on Google and You Tube.Search words: Antiwar,Bush Cheney,Iraq,pro peace, etc. For years we have been loading videos that oppose the Adm. Policies. Yet I still receive negative comments for my opposition to war videos on You Tube and Google, from those that have no clue regarding the realities.
Keep video's like this coming,then maybe the right wing talk show crowd and FOX News watchers will finally understand the truth. Then again maybe they won't.

During the second of three presidential debates, Bush had criticized the Clinton administration's use of troops in "nation-building" missions. He referred to Haiti and Somalia, where Clinton tried to use U.S. troops to help restore order, and the missions failed. In Palestine, Bush has not committed to using U.S. troops - at least not yet. "I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building," said Bush during the campaign. "We're not into nation-building," he said last September.
