Iraq, the cancer in the body of our society...

the welshman at kos...
We must bring our troops home. Not just because of the number that are being killed and injured, not just for what we are doing to Iraq, not just because so many of our young men and women are being traumatised and not just because of what we are doing to our own societies. But also for what we are doing to ourselves as individuals.

This Iraq war is like a cancer that is in the body of our society. Its decay spreads its tentacles over every organ of our endeavours. What beauty, magic, and creativity remains with us is being corrupted. It is not a distant event, kept away from our shores and from which we are insulated. It is here, inside our society and inside each an every one of us. It is terminal if it is not cut out as quickly as possible. We must be our own surgeons.

meanwhile, bushco continues to work to eviscerate its critics, providing a clear demonstration of what has happened to our society and ourselves...
