------nfifM in ?nni j— — |^y “ «Pe*« “ I personally believe the U n ite d S tates and G re at Britain should h ave w orked in con cert with the fam ily o f nation s— and were wrong not to h ave ob tained a final U .N . resolution. A t the sam e tim e, 1 am also distressed that the president o f Iraq has murdered his ow n people and oppressed his n ation , w h ile fan n in g the flam es o f relig io u s an d e th n ic hatreds. A s a person o f faith , I b elieve justice is the path that leads to p eace.” — T ro y P e rry (above), Metropolitan Com m unity C hurch founder “ I’m frightened that I h ave a garbage can in my garage filled with three days o f supplies for my fam ily. I’m sad that my 8-year-old son sobbed last week, statin g , ‘ I’ m goin g to he recruited for the war.’ I’m stunned that airp lay o f the D ixie C h ick s dropped 30 per c e n t ...a fte r a m em ber o f the hand expressed her poin t of view about the war. I’m deeply troubled about how this intoler ant e n v ir o n m ent will stran gle the civ il lib erties of all m inorities.” — Joan G a rry (right), G ay and Lesbian A lliance Against Defamation executive director and have now gotten the m ajority o f the world against us, bum bling idiots that they are. W e’re going to be paying for this one long after D ick C h e n e y ’s heart conks out, includ ing with more terrorist attacks.” — M ichelangelo Signorile, author “ I feel the who finds while her wrong side way I im agine a sm all child might herself strapped in the back seat father does 12 0 mph down the o f the interstate.” — A lison Bechdel, cartoonist, Dykes to Watch O ut For “T he war is a trumped- up excuse for us to once again play international bully and for Dubya— who hasn’t lived up to his promise to blow bin Laden out of his fox hole— to get someone. Appealing to the popu lace’s bloodlust and paranoia, the war’s been played out amidst overhyped orange alerts and overplayed fears that Saddam has weapons of mass destruc- ! tion.... O f course people who articulate thoughts like these get labeled unpatriotic, but nothing could be more flag-waving than invoking the right to free expression and the desire for world peace.” — M ich ael M u sto (ab o ve), colum nist, The Village Voice “ Bush is a dolt and a disaster, and h e ’s leading the econom y o ff the cliff. [But] I agree with Bush on the war. A n d I hope lefties will protest in the streets in an effort to hold Bush & C o . to the promises that th ey’ve made to the Iraqi p eo p le— T h a t m eans we should be protesting o ver how this war is conducted, not w hether it’s conducted. It’s being co n ducted, so ‘no w ar’ is o ff the table.” — Dan Savage, author and columnist “ Yeah, Saddam is a brutal dictator— but so is Robert M ugabe, though there are no plans to invade Zim babw e. C a ll me crazy, but I just d o n ’t believe mad dog Rum m y’s purpose in life is to liberate the downtrodden. T h is war— and Saddam — have absolutely nothing to do w ith 9 / 1 1 either. T h e plan was devised by far-right hawks in the W h ite House long ago — 10 years back, actually— and 9/11 sim ply g ave them their ticket to finally create the A m erican Em pire th ey’d on ly dream ed about. M ean w h ile, they cou ld n’t even do it right “T h e question is always, ‘A re you anti-w ar or pro-war?’ I refuse to choose betw een those two narrow definitions. I am an ti-gen o cid e.... U nless we h ave the courage to rise up against all o f the slaughter o f innocents in this world, the ch an t for peace w ithout the insistence o f justice is hollow .” — Robin Tyler, veteran activist and comedian in We Treat You Like "Family"! 2 0 0 3 Murano The Savvy Urban Sport Utility TEST DRIVE THE ALL NEW MAXIMA & MURANO • Maximas, Xterras, Pathfinders & Sentras • Financing Available for Everyone (OAC) J //ornan s p e c i a l t y l i n g e r i e • Elegant Environment • Gender-friendly, certified, experience staff • Private dressing rooms • Personalized attention 6333 SW Macadam, Stc. 102 (503) 246-7000 www.jusdikeawoman.com Because You Deserve It Elise Campbell, c r i , ABR It's th a t S im p le ! • All Priced to Move!
