True, but I do not see much of the protest action here that is reportedly
going on in Europe, despite the fact that:

1. Our fearless leader started a major war without calling it such (he did
not have sex with Monica either) in a clear violation of the Constitution; and

2. The US forces do most of the fighting and most of the damage among
civilian population in Serbia and Kosovo.

It looks like people not giving a shit anymore what policies, if any, the
people who call themselves the government pursue.
