Every single argument used against the war is now a generally accepted fact.

There never was any connection between Saddam and Al-Qaeda, Iraqi weapons were never any real threat, and we've gotten ourselves into a multi-billion dollar quagmire with no end in sight.

This is exactly what the war protesters were saying all along.

Where's my damn apology?
by Madeline Zane, Unknown News Sept. 3, 2003

Here's what I want to know: Where's my damn apology?? I remember before we invaded Iraq, people speaking out against the war got called all sorts of cruel, vicious, outrageous names. We were accused of hating America and loving terrorism and hastening the end of human civilization. You would think we had bombed the World Trade Center, the amount of hysteria and rage that was directed at anyone who wanted to actually discuss the facts about Iraq.

Well, guess what? Every single argument used against the war is now a generally accepted fact. There never was any connection between Saddam and Al-Qaeda, Iraqi weapons were never any real threat, and we've gotten ourselves into a multi-billion dollar quagmire with no end in sight. This is exactly what the war protesters were saying all along.

So how come no one seems to have noticed? It should be obvious even to people who only get their news from the mainstream media that we had good reasons for being against the war, and that we weren't just evil incarnate. But I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to apologize for the name-calling and admit that we were right to speak out like we did.

Anyone? Any of you flag-wavers ready to say sorry? Hello? .... Is this thing on??
