Sorry, but I can't condone her opinion on the grounds that it does nothing be debase the anti-war effort in Iraq. If you want to end it now, get someone like Ron Paul or the Libertarian Party candidate in office. They'll make quick word of the Implied Powers clause of the US Constitution to rebalance this government back to individual liberty and peace once more. But taking the kook conspiracy road is not going to do that.

Oh I think if you really wanted to end this thing, you could:

1) Raise gas prices to $6 a gallon.  That would get people mad enough to support the war and finish it. We'd be happy to do that and settle for $5 a gallon gasoline. (Yea it sounds totally stupid but it would work).

2) Institute the draft.  This would piss everybody off and we'd pull out.

3) Send all of the eligible sons and daughters of congress to the front lines.  That would end the war within the week.

No, Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.  I can't believe how many still support this idea. It's totally bizzarre.

Isn't it about that high in parts of "Utopia" right now?

And I don't think it would take a week to end the war if you sent Congress' rug rats.  Just long enough for someone to write a binding resolution and both chambers to vote on it.

Well you mentioned The Castro a while back so that was a clue and I had heard at least a week ago that it was right at $4 per gallon in that lovely city.   ;) ;)

With out influx of population lately, you might call this area North Mexico City but not Shangi-La.  If you understand my meaning.
