Either people are too self-absorbed to care (I HOPE that's not the case), or it's the frustrated hands tied behind the back syndrome, i.e., Bush has made too huge of a mess to sort this out any longer, and it's gone on too long

Do you really think dissention has died down? Dubya's poll numbers consistently hit record lows every week these days, and the main thing dragging them down is the fact that people feel the Iraq conflict is a miserable failure and we either need to dramatically change course or get the hell out of there.

If things seem quiet right now, that's only because it's December. Congress isn't in session, and people are focused on the holidays. Wait until things in Washington get rolling again in January, there will plenty of fresh decrying of this war.

Meanwhile, General Wesley Clark had a very interesting op-ed piece in the New York Times earlier this week about how neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have a real, viable plan to make things better in Iraq. He does, though, and he does a nice job outlining it.

I find it interesting and typical that so many have jumped on this bandwagon. Over the years, think of the good that Stevie has done and how much she HAS done for charities, etc. Now, all of a sudden, she plays the bat mitzvah, we know very little of her knowledge of the guy or what she did with her money (not that it's any of our business) and WHAM, we jump on the "Stevie is a traitor, I've lost respect, Shame on Stevie" train. It's pathetic. Having a conversation about it is one thing, but taking jabbs is another. As Angelick Witch says, Stevie is in no way supporting the guy. I hope those of you who have such harsh things to say find yourselves in the same situation (whether that is partaking in an event of which you aren't fully aware of everyone's backgrounds, etc. or offered money to do your job even though you may not like the person or what he/she does for a living or even know for that matter) and then experience those you felt were on your side, turn on you.

and I find this interesting as well. think about it...maybe Henley or Walsh asked Stevie to join them...
