I suggest that if Doober & co attack or invade another country with no valid justification (like they did in Iraq)*, we alert the socioeconomic power hierarchy they are fronting for that they depend on us, we the people, as units of economic exchange - simply put, we bring the (consumer) economy to a screeching halt - no purchases beyond life necessities, work slowdowns or stoppages, general strikes, etc. In Europe they can get 100K people onto the street within 48 hours to protest economic policy changes; we should be able to do the same when the clamfuckers are proposing to go beyond $4billion and 60 Americans a month in their efforts to perpetuate the petroleum consumer economy which serves them. Dooboids and PNAC, you're on notice: you're answerable to us, the people. Your policies suck, and we suspect you suck and have no intention of representing us, and you've informed us what you really care about. Bad move.
*Note definitional specifics: attacking Afghanistan had a valid justification, since a bunch of goat-fucking fundamentalist princelings gave safe harbor to psychotics who killed 3000+ Americans. There was no equivalent related to Iraq. That's a useful standard of measurement for us to use.
