Margolis receives huge email response re his anti war column blaming Bush
for taking America wrongly into the Iraq war...This is a heart-warming article from Eric Margolis, an American who lives in Toronto and writes for the Toronto Sun. I first posted one of his anti-war articles about a year ago...Many of you have seen these articles by him which others have posted also....He is an expert on the mid-east and though he is a conservative and a Republican, is fearless in his expression of disgust for the current government in Washington.
<snip>
"I've received a huge e-mail response from around the globe in reply to my last Sunday Sun column. In it, I contended that George Bush's fabricated war against Iraq was a far worse crime than Watergate, and said the president and his men were either liars or unbelievably inept.""
<snip>
"Most messages, about seven in every 10 by my estimate, came from Americans."

11. I was one of those outraged readers in Texas
I told Mr. Margolis Bush didn't fool me as governor either. I added that I felt Americans would riot in the streets with pitchforks if our news media did their f***ing jobs.

Bless Canada. :)

12. Dean just agreed with what Margolis said...Bush is worse than Nixon
for what he has done to the country...He was talking to Wolfie and Wolf asked him "are you saying you think Bush is a worse president than Richard Nixon?" and Dean said without hesitation..."Yes."...I don't believe I have heard anyone else on American TV say this openly.
