I dunno man, in Berkeley you can't walk down the street without seeing an Impeach Bush and Cheney sign, or even better on a good day, someone ranting about Bush and Cheney. It's the rest of the country that's the problem. They all live in some alternate Fox News reality where the Iraq war is NOT a scheme to funnel tax money to Halliburton & co. while using the time-honored political tradition of boosting approval and power through war. The suits rule this country and the sheeple go along because I guess it makes no real difference to them. Its like how the kings used to rule Europe and fight little wars amongst themselves because they had nothing better to do. With professional armies too, the knights. The peasants? Shit, it don't matter to them, they're only concerned with not starving this winter, and if some of them happen to get raped and/or pillaged what are they gonna do about it anyway?

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
