A big myth about the Iraqi War is that Conservatives are for it, and Liberals are against it. One only has to look at the two leaders who propagated the war effort: George Bush and Tony Blair. And lets not forget all the liberals who took the stage at the RNC to 're-elect' Bush for President.
A month ago, Karl Rove made this statement: Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war. Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.
Well, Mr Rove must be spinning in his political grave today, because less than a week after the worst bombing in London, Prime Minister Tony Blair is not suggesting war, instead he is preaching tolerance, understanding, and inclusion.
Blair sees this as a wake up call - Multiculturalism in Britain has failed, and we need to fix it is his message. In other words, Blair knows that only through EDUCATION can the west win this war of nerves.

I am a born-again atheist who is pro-life (I don't eat animals) and I agree with the Dalai Lama when he says "There is no creator".
Those are certainly good words of common sense. It tells us that "spirituality" has nothing to do with a belief in things supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael Savage (real name 'Wiener') so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
