Report: Cheney to Snub Japan Defense Minister for Calling Iraq War 'Mistake'
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines07/0212-08.htm

[Duchess Note: Bravo to the Japanese Defense Minister in speaking the truth. I hope he doesn’t cave into Darth Cheney’s arrogant snubs and apologize. Please sir, don’t do it, and stand by your convictions. This horrible war and occupation of Iraq is a huge illegal mistake. We cannot let the Bush Regime do it again to any other country. Who has one or more quantities of WMDs? Why it’s the USA. Who’s threatening the USA? Well, no one country really, with the exception of the US government and Bush Regime. What do fascist/imperial regimes do to those who speak the truth, speak of peace and back it up with legit proof? Well, they’ll bomb your country, put you in prison without a trial, wire tap your phone, read your mail and a whole slew of things and not in that order. Hum, sure does sound like the good ole US of A government under the Bush Regime.]
