Where is the outrage?
By Kirk Muse

When the Watergate scandal was unfolding, our nation was justifiably outraged. We were justifiably outraged that the Nixon Administration was involved in the burglary of the offices of their political opponents. We were justifiably outraged that the Nixon Administration was attempting to cover up this crime.

However, it seems to me that the Watergate scandal pales in comparison to the George W. Bush Administration's lying to the American people and the world about the reason to attack and invade another sovereign country.

Where is the outrage?

Where is the outrage the the so-called weapons of mass destruction had absolutely nothing to do with why the Bush Administration wanted to invade Iraq? The Bush Administration was not deceived about weapons of mass destruction--the Bush Administration did the deceiving.

Where is the outrage that innocent Iraqi citizens and American soldiers are dead or crippled for life because of the lies of the Bush Administration?
