AUSTIN, Texas -- Don't you hate when war starts in springtime? We are now united in desperately hoping that the war will be both easy and short.

The most depressing thing about this war is that we are going into it with the support of the majority of public opinion in exactly two countries, the United States and Israel -- and that is indeed a miserable failure of diplomacy, as Sen. Daschle put it.

In the current issue of Newsweek, Fareed Zakaria has a long and thoughtful piece on what went wrong. He reports, "I've been all over the world in the last year, and almost every country I've visited has felt humiliated by this administration." He quotes Jorge Casteneda, the recently resigned foreign minister of Mexcio: "Most officials in Latin American countries today are not anti-American types. We have studied in the United States or worked there. We like and understand America. But we find it extremely irritating to be treated with utter contempt."

Air pollution from power plants alone triggers over 35,000 asthma attacks and causes over 1,900 premature deaths in Ohio each year, threatening both public health and the environment. Incredibly, our clean air protections are under attack by the Bush administration and their allies in Congress. The White House's misnamed Clear Skies initiative allows companies to pollute the air at levels far above current law. Here in Ohio, these changes translate into even dirtier air and increased health risks.

Please take a moment to call Representative Sherrod Brown and urge him to oppose the Bush administration's Clear Skies initiative on air pollution. You can call Representative Brown at 202-225-3401, here's a sample message you can leave:

"Hi, my name is ______ and I live in _____, Ohio. I think air pollution is a big problem, and I want to ask Representative Brown to oppose Clear Skies, the Bush administration's air pollution plan, and to support enforcing the current law instead of weakening it."

Then, let us know you made the call by following the link below and filling out the form there.

A letter:

Dear Congressman Conyers:

President Bush seized power in an illegal coup d'etat. His thugs disenfranchised Slave descendants in a former Reconstruction state, mocking the 14th Amendment, then interpreted by the runaway Republican Supreme Court as elevating absentee voting privileges of snowbirds above the cemeteries at Gettysburg and Arlington. Such a disgrace could never have occured had not the officer Constitutionally charged with enforcing an honest vote

The media giant Clear Channel has been busy backing legislation to allow it to extend its reach lately, but it has paused just long enough to support the war. Clear Channel has been promoting Glen Beck’s “Rallies for America,” on its corporate website and through Clear Channel stations.

Beck claims the rallies are not a pro-war but merely “intended as a venue for reasonable, thoughtful, and prayerful people who want the opportunity to express their support for our troops.” However, with signs stating “Support Bush, Not Saddam” and “We Love Tony Blair,” the pro-war message is all but transparent.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Clear Channel, which owns 1,225 radio stations and has coverage in every state, including Washington, D.C., claims that it has not sent directives to its stations to support the rallies; rather, they have acted on their own.

Regardless of the central headquarters’ level of involvement in the planning of each rally, when the country’s largest radio company starts blatantly manufacturing the news, heightened awareness is required.

As we all know, some evil-doers have forged some evidence against Iraq.

These same evil-doers have misused the U. S. Government, attempting to deceive the whole American people, and the whole mankind.

Tonight will be a very happy night for some evil-doers.

Tonight, it will become easier, for some evil-doers, to forge evidences against Iraq.

Tonight (or very soon), the Iraqi Government will lose control over a part of the territory of Iraq.

In that part of the territory of Iraq, it will become easier, for some evil-doers, to place large amounts of weapons of mass destruction.

After that, it will become very easy, for some evil-doers, to announce that large amounts of weapons of mass destruction were found within the territory of Iraq.

Will 6 billion people believe what they will announce ?
