Something Very Encouraging

This morning I came across this op-ed in the UCLA student newspaper. It is written by a fourth-year sociology student. In my opinion, it is written as concisely, clearly and insightfully as anything that appears in our major newspapers.

Here's the article Mr. Conyers references:

Anyone who says young people in our nation don't care about the world around them or are disengaged from politics should be encouraged by this piece. Here are a couple of snippets (please read the whole piece):

"When President Bush was asked in September 2003 about the leak that identified CIA agent, Valerie Plame, he responded with the following: "I welcome the investigation. I'm absolutely confident that the Justice Department will do a very good job."

I guess he probably didn't think, or at least he hoped that this probe and subsequent prosecution of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby wouldn't uncover evidence that Bush himself authorized leaks of classified information about Iraq prior to the invasion. ....

Both Presidents Bush and Nixon crossed constitutional boundaries for political gain and both chose vice presidents nobody wants to see promoted. But there's one big difference between the Watergate Scandal and the corrupt conduct that has emerged from the Bush Administration since the invasion of Iraq. That difference is the cost associated with the behavior. ....

I'm among the group of people scratching their heads wondering why we decided to go to war in the first place. The only people who have seemed to benefit from any of this are stockholders of military and oil industries.

If only I had invested my college tuition money in Halliburton before we invaded Iraq, I would be sipping margaritas on the Coast of Acapulco right now instead of sharing a tiny bedroom in Westwood. But alas, I'm still a broke and curious college student. ..."
