War -- what is it good for?
Before WMD went AWOL, as the war machine was being cranked up and the dreaded “yellow cake” was being served and the French and the Dixie Chicks were being vilified, no group of journalists questioned the war louder and longer than editorial cartoonists. We have the hate mail to prove it.
Small solace, but seven years later we can say we told you so. Chan Lowe fingers George “I’m the Decider” Bush, Dick “Deficits Don’t Matter” Cheney and Donald “Get Over It” Rumsfeld. Signe Wilkinson recounts the Iraqi tragedy. And Jimmy Margulies reminds us that it ain’t over till it’s over over there. Submissions accomplished.
