So? ... A Note from Michael Moore 

Monday, March 24th, 2008 

Friends, 

It would have to happen on Easter Sunday, wouldn't it, that the 4,000th
American soldier would die in Iraq. Play me that crazy preacher again, will
you, about how maybe God, in all his infinite wisdom, may not exactly be
blessing America these days. Is anyone surprised? 

4,000 dead. Unofficial estimates are that there may be up to 100,000
wounded, injured, or mentally ruined by this war. And there could be up to a
million Iraqi dead. We will pay the consequences of this for a long, long
time. God will keep blessing America. 

And where is Darth Vader in all this? A reporter from ABC News this week
told Dick Cheney, in regards to Iraq, "two-thirds of Americans say it's not
worth fighting." Cheney cut her off with a one word answer: "So?" 

"So?" As in, "So what?" As in, "F*** you. I could care less." 

I would like every American to see Cheney flip the virtual bird at the them,
the American people. Click here and pass it around. Then ask yourself why we
haven't risen up and thrown him and his puppet out of the White House. 

The Democrats have had the power to literally pull the plug on this war for
the past 15 months -- and they have refused to do so. What are we to do
about that? Continue to sink into our despair? Or get creative? Real
creative. I know there are many of you reading this who have the chutzpah
and ingenuity to confront your local congressperson. Will you? For me? 

Cheney spent Wednesday, the 5th anniversary of the war, not mourning the
dead he killed, but fishing off the Sultan of Oman's royal yacht. So? Ask
your favorite Republican what they think of that. 

The Founding Fathers would never have uttered the presumptuous words, "God
Bless America." That, to them, sounded like a command instead of a request,
and one doesn't command God, even if they are America. In fact, they were
worried God would punish America. During the Revolutionary War, George
Washington feared that God would react unfavorably against his soldiers for
the way they were behaving. John Adams wondered if God might punish America
and cause it to lose the war, just to prove His point that America was not
worthy. They and the others believed it would be arrogant on their part to
assume that God would single out America for a blessing. What a long road we
have traveled since then. 

I see that Frontline on PBS this week has a documentary called "Bush's War."
That's what I've been calling it for a long time. It's not the "Iraq War."
Iraq did nothing. Iraq didn't plan 9/11. It didn't have weapons of mass
destruction. It DID have movie theaters and bars and women wearing what they
wanted and a significant Christian population and one of the few Arab
capitals with an open synagogue. 

But that's all gone now. Show a movie and you'll be shot in the head. Over a
hundred women have been randomly executed for not wearing a scarf. I'm
happy, as a blessed American, that I had a hand in all this. I just paid my
taxes, so that means I helped to pay for this freedom we've brought to
Baghdad. So? Will God bless me? 

God bless all of you in this Easter Week as we begin the 6th year of Bush's
War. 

God help America. Please.
