AN URGENT APPEAL TO OUR READERS....

"We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge... We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, 'Stop it, now!'"

—Molly Ivins, 1944-2007, in her final column, Jan. 12, 2007

Exit Poll: Why are Africa's ex-dictators Charles Taylor and Hissène Habré facing the dock, while Guatemala's equally genocidal ex-tyrant Rios Montt is free to run for that country's Congress?

Extra Credit: How is it possible that Taylor and Habré face the dock, while the Darfur genocide continues and Sudan's Omar al-Bashir remains in power, raking in petro-dollars and aspiring to lead the African Union?

Extra Extra Credit: Would it merely be juvenile to even bring up George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George H.W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, Robert McNamara, etc.? And, oh yeah, Vladimir Putin?

Just asking.
