As a disabled combat veteran who frequents a coffee shop near my home, I hear more
angry debate over the Iraq War than I will 
ever need. ...  I do have a rigorous standard for sending human beings to war. I call it the "Mike MacParlane Taste Test."

"Take courage! Be of Good Cheer! Our fight against the Beast is one worthy of your time,money and energy!  Many have gone before and have thwarted the enemy of the people in the past.  Remember Chicago and Kent State in America's more recent history.... -  even before they suffered mass tragedy as a result of his war on Iraq.

U.S. Media Justify Slaughter
But on the essential question of the occupation of Iraq, the Post advises the American people to
