Lets be honest here, no one involved in propagating this story really gives a shit about the observatory, its anti-war rhetoric.
If you want to complain about screwed up government spending there are far better places to look than the Iraq occupation.
Your intent was to bitch about the war, my intent was to point out your method of bitching was nothing but a smoke screen, and really the two are completely unrelated.
