ANTIWAR HYPERVENTILATION: The Politburo notes:

The Village Voice’s James Ridgeway claims that “the enormous ‘shock and awe’ bombing campaign against Baghdad, now being carried out by the U.S. military to ensure there is no safe place left to hide in the capital city, will inevitably recall the Allied firebombing of Dresden during World War II” in which 250,000 civilians were killed. As we noted below, the Iraqis have claimed that the first night of “shock and awe” claimed three lives.

Poor guy. Ridgeway just has too much invested in the notion of a murderous America to face reality.
