Standing Up

It goes without saying that the Pentagon, the White House, the military, blah, blah, blah, never figure into their bullshit “scenarios” actual people; you know, the living, breathing kind, who might be affected and perhaps have their lives ripped apart and destroyed by “engagements.” And it’s certainly a given that Shrub doesn’t, lest it disturb his sleep on those comfy pillows he’s so fond of.

But there are actual people suffering, greatly, under the massive wreckage this administration has cursed upon the world, even more than those who are lucky enough to be featured in the press; namely gay and lesbian Iraqis whose lives have been irrevocably destroyed by this immoral invasion into their country that most people in this nation could seem to care less about. Being gay under Saddam was bad, but life currently for gay men and women in Iraq is a death sentence, thanks to the neoconservatives, Cheney and his puppet, Shrub.
