Rally in DC, fourth picture

I remember before the war started, a friend of mine emailed me about how the war was going to really be great for America, because it would take care of our "enemies" who had attacked us on 9/11. I emailed back that this upcoming war on Iraq was illegal, immoral and very, very stupid.

She was extremely upset that I called the war "very, very stupid."

Fact is, I was wrong. It is not "very, very stupid." It is oh-so-breathtakingly stupid. It is stupid beyond belief.

I was called a "traitor" when I still did not support this war after it started. So I do have a few things in common with this sign holder.

Congress Can Stop Iraq War

The U.S. Congress has the power to end the war in Iraq, several high-powered legal experts including a former Bush administration attorney told a Senate hearing on Tuesday. With many lawmakers poised to confront President George W. Bush by voting disapproval of his war policy in the coming days, four of five experts called before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee said Congress could go further and restrict or stop U.S. involvement if it chose.

And here is something you can do from home, from your computer:
