President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath. However, Bush fails to mention future opportunities for citizens, Congress, and the press to hold him accountable: the confirmation process for political appointments.

Since Baghdad fell, America has lost more than nine times as many troops in the post-war peace as it did in the war itself, with 1,163 post-war KIA compared to 122 wartime fatalities as of Dec. 12, 2004. A few months ago, I wrote that optimistic comparisons to postwar Japan and Germany were foolish and inaccurate -- one no longer hears even whispers of them now, only increasingly desperate assertions that Iraq is not Vietnam.

An appeal to the peace and justice movement, calling for a long-term strategy for undermining the foundations of war.

The time has come to recognize that the U.S. occupation is the principal cause of the violent insurgency and growing civil war. We disagree with those who, while admitting that that the war was a mistake based on fabricated evidence, nevertheless claim it would be a bigger mistake to end the occupation and withdraw.
