Was the link associated with this story supposed to go to the Center for Islamic Education? I wanted to check out the folks that made it, but was directed to the Center for Islamic Education in California . . . Help?
This is exactly what 3 old MCAD buddies & I were pondering last night. They have togther raised 4 productive children. One is divorced from a man who needed to have all the control, one has worked on the film adapted from the book, Class Action, about harrassment of women working on the Iron Range, I am working on a history of the Battered women's movement in MN - we all agree that Bush's latest incarnation of the 6000 year old patriarchy - "might is right" - and "to the victor belong the spoils" is a murderous, menacing force and an out of date MO - thwarting the people's slow but surely coming evolution towards working and living from the heart towards peaceful co-habitation of the planet. That gang can be voted out of power - legally.

When we have thugs and bullies as national leaders, their behaviors interpreted on the individual level become sanctioned. If it is okay to invade Iraq because someday they might attack us with weapons they haven't even developed yet, then it's okay for me to put a cap in someone's ass because someday in the distant future he might try to do that to me. Preemptive vigilante justice at its worst.
This is so screwed up. Powerful video, but the whole issue ties my stomach in knots. The current political situation makes my blood boil.
