I came across this quote... a quote of hope in these unbearable times. ?Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.? -- Mahatma Gandhi Clip Source: www.tomdispatch.com Escalation by the Numbers What "Progress" in Iraq Really Means By Tom Engelhardt Someday, we will undoubtedly discover that, in the term "surge" -- as in the Presidents "surge" plan (or "new way forward") announced to the nation in January -- was the urge to avoid the language (and experience) of the Vietnam era. no "body bags" (or cameras to film them as the dead came home), as there were to be no "body counts" ("We have made a conscious effort not to be a body-count team" was the way the President put it), as there were to be no "quagmires," nor the need to search for that "light at the end of the tunnel," so, surely, there were to be no "escalations." Marilyn Young noted in early April 2003 with the invasion of Iraq barely underway: less then two weeks, a 30 year old vocabulary is back: credibility gap, seek and destroy, hard to tell friend from foe, the dominance of domestic politics, winning, or more often, losing hearts and minds."
