Seriously, is that the way you see it? If we don't follow Bush's orders and support him in an unjust war, we're surrendering?

To me, the only thing in danger of being surrendered in this situation is the peoples' will to the ambitions of a nutjob. People surrender to Bush their sense of right and wrong, their knowledge of what is and isn't -- that's genuine surrender. That's being someone's @#$%^, to be somewhat crudely specific, but the definition of being someone's @#$%^ is when they can get you to agree to something that you know isn't true.

Who do you think I'm surrendering to? Iraq? I'm not in a fight with Iraq. America isn't in a fight with Iraq. Bush is in a fight with Iraq and he's the kind of guy who has no moral compunctions about dragging American soldiers into it. So now they're in a fight with Iraq. Fine. That's how the chain of command works. I get that. I don't blame the soldiers for the war. I'm just not that stupid. Nobody is.

You don't have to surrender to not fight.
