Which is it? 

Statements made by President Bush yesterday seem to contradict a government warning that was also issued yesterday. This contradiction seems similar to the recent Rumsfeld memo in which the Defense Secretary contradicts his public statements in regard to the situation in Iraq.
Add to that the rosy spin painted by Vice President Cheney and we get a glimpse of the dishonest and cynical people who run this country.

There's nothing holy on this planet. There is no god. Stop killing each other. 

Holy fucking shit. When will it finally be decided that enough is enough?
Most people in that region want peace and an end to the conflict. Their right wing and stubborn leaders just keep getting closer to what they really want, which is total and complete destruction of their enemy.
Doesn't our government look pretty morally bankrupt by failing to effectively intervene? What stupid and destructive monkey behavior.

Accountability 

Why won't this administration cooperate with an investigation into the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001? It's rhetoric is one of cooperation and concern, but it's actions are obstruction and delay.
How are we defending our "homeland" properly if the administration is obstructing efforts to find out what really happened so that we can prevent it from happening again?

Fair elections? 

As some people are aware the 2000 presidential election, especially in Florida, was plagued with controversy. Again in some states in 2002 there were more questions raised, although the media barely covered any of it.
At the heart of the controversy are electronic voting machines manufactured by a company called Diebold. Their machine's reputation so far is dubious. A group of students at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania are doing their best to keep the public informed about this possible threat to our democracy.
I think it's great how convenient technology can be for some aspects of our lives, but as long as we vote, I want a receipt for my vote. Events in this country have been pretty strange these past few years and if there is only one thing that I believe in, it's the infinite corruptability of human nature.
Be aware, and be outraged.
