I don't blame anyone for not wanting to get in the way
when the winds of war are blowing a billion miles an hour.
War is good for the economy (except for the dead folks) the

Speaking out against war gets you labeled a wuss, or attacked,
just ask Valerie Plame.
Defending the invasion of Iraq should get you labeled a psychopath
in need of an asylum.
