Right now, at 3:35 AM Dallas-time, it is 12:35 PM Baghdad-time. Bush and Cheney have sent latinos, negros, blancos, asiaticos y inmigrantes there, trying to win over hearts and minds and spread democracy, or at least that's their latest story. But you can't win over hearts and minds with bombs and guns. You can only win over hearts and minds with truth, cajones, un poco de musica, love and self-knowledge.
We need to bring those young men and women home as soon as humanly possible so they can help teach their children to stay in school. Their uncles would but they've been too busy putting away a case of beer a day to keep from worrying about them. Their spouses would but they've been working twelve hours a day, six days a week trying to keep their homes from being foreclosed. Their mothers would but they've been too busy trying to put food on the table.
If their families are struggling so badly, imagina, how can Iraqi families put their lives back together without the generosity of those fortunate few whose families have not been ripped apart by this fruitless war. Of course, it will not be easy to get ourselves back on track and it will take a very, very, very long time. But can it be done?
