In order to form a more perfect puppet nation, from which they can rape and pillage the people of Iraq. In order to suck the nation dry of oil and reward their major campaign benefactors Halliburton, Bechtel, MCI (World Com) et. al. with overpriced contracts paid for by the US taxpayers and Iraqi resources and to save Bush's butt in 2004 the Bushies vow their sacred honor (whoops that was gone a long time ago) to lie, disinform the world, and kill anyone in Iraq who opposes them, while calling the dead terrorists.
It's back to business as usual now that summer vacation is over.

Maybe it inspires people to write to the editors (which is a good idea too).

We already are down to to working half time on national issues here in CA. We need others to take up the slack on Bush and Iraq. The freaking Rovians started the recall just to get some of the heat off Bush so they can slip in their lies again. Please don't let them win.
