Don't Give Up

Desperation is starting to set in, as pre-emptive invasion looks more and more inevitable. Everything that can be said about why we should treat war as a last resort, letting the inspectors continue, and considering other alternatives, has been said in every way possible in every type of media. At this point we can only continue repeating what's been said, chanted, reported, argued, essayed, signed, posted and e-mailed. But we must not let the distaste of redundancy soften the urgency of the message. There are more ears to reach, more minds to convince. We must wear down the forces of aggression with incessantly growing attention and criticism; we must not let the aggressor castigate us so that our wills fall into submission.

Sadaam is evil and must go. Everyone agrees. Let's dispose of this ruthlessly evil leader (Sadaam, not Bush) in a civilized manner, using proven methods. Lend an ear to those who speak up.

Don't give up.
