The Eve of War

I am too frustrated with this persistent feeling of helplessness to cite the endless sources of anti-war rhetoric. We are acting as the aggressor, going to war with a country that has not attacked us. Our administration is turning a deaf ear to the pleas of the rest of the world, members of the international alliance we have worked so hard to build over the last fifty years, but more dangerously, it is acting without any apparent historical awareness.

Let's hope it doesn't get as bad as it has the potential to be.

I too feel that frustration, Lincoln. I've tried and tried to articulate my own thoughts, but it often gets too emotional. One of the best things I've read, against the war, is the resignation speech by Robin Cook (Leader of Britain's House of Commons) here.
