"In the face of this approaching disaster, it behooves men and women not yet overcome by war madness to raise their voice of protest, to call the attention of the people to the crime and outrage about to be perpetrated on them."
Emma Goldman,
"Preparedness, The Road to Universal Slaughter," Mother Earth, December 1915
This is why I write about Iraq. Even when I fear that it is as futile as Emma Goldman's attempts to agitate against World War I, I feel compelled to stand up and be counted against this war in Iraq. I have always been one to tilt at windmills. And while I don't have any illusions about how likely it is that my voice is going to change whether or not Bush goes to war, certainly nothing ever does change without people raising their voices in protest. Maybe it will help bring a return to sanity sooner. So count me out of this war.
