Don't forget A.N.S.W.E.R's many protests againt Bush's 'racist' war against Afganistan. This occuring as we were builing up forces and trying to negotiate the Taliban turning over Osama.

'Not in my name' 'No War in Afganistan'

'Dont drop bombs drop food.'

Also during this pre-Afganistan war period. I saw Gloria Steinem on Oh!. She was bashing Bush on how he planned to bomb those poor people living in mud buildings etc.

Months later, as US forces went in and Afgan cities were being liberated I came across Ms Steinem again. What was she saying? She was criticizing Bush for NOT doing enough to help 'Afgan women'. I clearly remember that because thats when I lost it and started screaming at my TV.

She didn't want Bush to go in, but when he did what he was doing, wasn't enough. That basically was my rant. Less so many 4 letter words.

Pacifism must also be remembered.
