We'll meet again

Thank you for helping commemorate the fifth anniversary of the biggest sucker deal in Manhattan since Peter Minuit bought the place.

At least the Native Americans got trinkets. All we got from Colin Powell's 2/5/03 U.N. presentation — and the media's unquestioning praise for it — was a costly and unnecessary war.

Very special thanks go out to Blue Gal at Crooks & Liars, and to those who contributed heartfelt and thoughtful posts to this little memory book.

Because about some things, our memories shouldn't be little, nor should our capacity to question.

See you next year!

Same time, new president. A good one, I hope.
