Where do the rest of us, who love the America of Ray Charles,
Muhammed Ali, and Martin Luther King Jr., fit in? Who feel sad that
the flag that flies over our post office has been soiled in the blood
and dirt of My Lai and Abu Greu?

Well, we either speak up courageously in disregard of social
etiquette injunctions of "no politics or religion please," or suffer
in silence alone, isolated from the 'why me worry' crowd and
self-condemned for our reticence to use the right of free speech with
which we feel burdened. We cannot say, as the Germans did, "If I had
spoken up, the SS would have taken me away."

As we have stomached a commander-in-chief striding along with puffed
up chest and cocked elbows to appear tough and manly, so also have we
put up with a string of more intelligent speaking war presidents, who
also evidenced personal charm as does Bush, while pursuing a deadly
and immoral use of our armed forces abroad.

Many of us will fit in the world at large, if uncomfortable at home,
by remembering that we a human beings first and American born second.
As unpatriotic as this sounds in today's mass commercial media
America First propagandizing society, we fit in with our world
brothers and sisters by NOT fitting in with the obscene criminality
of this nation's governance.

It will be nauseatingly interesting to observe how the same old
excuse for losing is going to be dramatized on our conglomerate owned
TV screens. Nauseating because the networks will make viewers forget
that they, through real deception, sold us on bombing Baghdad again
and invading, and then avoided showing the piles of Iraqi dead and
wounded. Nauseating because it sells continuing occupation to
prevent a blood bath among those Iraqis, as if we love them so much
as to sacrifice our sons for them, yet play down our killing of so
many in indiscriminate bombings. Nauseating for portraying peace
activists as weak on terrorism while it hides that Carter armed the
Taliban, and Reagan, Saddam Hussein.

An alternate acceptable political force of human beings acting
decently is still far off, as those who read and study history, do so
in a business dominated society with an attendant distrust of
intellect and kindness when placed above the profit motive.
