I have seen this country propagandized into war. It's now a second wave of propagandizing, with the president taking the stump, joined by persons like Senator Joe Lieberman.

The response to Hurricane Katrina was a sharp indictment of America's emergency-response capabilities. This report provides further evidence of the major gap between response 'plans' and 'realities.' We need to get real in our planning for health emergencies.

to have a blank check to take this country to war.

This country has to finish with war.

Even as a Swiss pilot, I would be afraid to fly over a country which is in war, and I wouldn't have much pleasure to fly over a country where people are dying under the bombs.

I find bringing the country to the brink of war unilaterally five weeks before an election questionable - and very, very frightening.
