re: And who is to blame?
"The poisonous stew of gun nuts, racists, right wingers, religious zealots has been allowed to bubble and boil over heated by paranoia and lies until it finally exploded. And it turned out all the macho fantasies of all the losers that like to play at war, were just the miasma of sick minds, .....there was no enemy. But there WERE mothers and fathers, and daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, husbands and wives...........and babies. My God, what have we done?"
This quote was attributed to Molly Ivins, but I am not positive about that.
