I just thought of this... no idea if it's been thought of before. I would like to call on my fellow Americans to throw flowers at the feet of or in the general direction of every member of
both this and
the following White House administrations.
I say
this administration to hammer it home to them that not only the current Iraq War, but in fact all
wars are about pictures like these and not about
pictures and places like these, void of civilian suffering and with clear-cut, easy-to-spot good and bad guys. Let's not forget that all people have a little bit of good and a little bit of evil in them. This means two things: 1. each person should be treated with a minimum amount of respect (i.e. sling flowers, not other items which might be readily available) 2. We should never put so much trust in a single person that we fail to ponder -however good the person might otherwise be- what ulterior motives that person might have on at least some issues.
I say the following administrations to gently remind them of what happens when former administrations attempt to use the ignorance of Americans to propell their backward personal, penis driven agendas out into the limelight. That said, I see nothing wrong with using the wisdom of people to promote one's own ideas.
