The war certainly does not exist on my television, and I am tired of that as well. The television news media's consensus-building machine works all day and night on a half-dozen news channels, and according to them, all is fine and dandy. It is amazing how effective these small boxes are at controlling the thoughts, emotions and desires of our population. It is daunting to try to come up with a way to get around their noise.

What is this whacko smoking????

This is complete BS.

The war in Iraq exists in my living room. I watch the "Newshour" on PBS every week night. Every night, they show the names and photos of the dead American soldiers from Iraq released from the Pentagon. Most are young men. Some are young women. A surprising number are older people that had been serving in the National Guard from some American state, that never dreamed they'd die in Iraq. Every one to me seems like a wrongful death.
