"Today, I Weep For My Country"

Senator Robert Byrd was called everything from a traitor to treasonous, anti-American to Saddam comfort giver for this incredible, powerful speech the night American bombs began to slam in Baghdad, back in March 2003.

Senator Byrd was right, of course, about almost everything in this speech. Which is why he was attacked so viciously, ruthlessly, by the media. Too much fucking truth :









Nobody listened, he was just a crazy old man, who'd seen it all before during World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War I, decades of the war machine devouring trillions of American wealth, and millions of American lives, for too little gain.

Senator Byrd died today.

Where are these voices of opposition to war, all war, today in the American government? Who is asking these questions?
