Wrong paradigm Dept. Latest antiwar gasp for relevancy.

Be part of a national anti-war action on May 14. Screen "Dr. Strangelove," and raise money for groups still working hard for peace, justice and relief in Iraq.

Pre-emptive strikes. Cowboy diplomacy. Men conspiring in the War Room, bent on world domination. Weapons of mass destruction. And most terrifying of all, an invasion begun for one overwhelming reason: precious fluids. . . .

On May 14, put on a screening of "Dr. Strangelove" – in your living room, at the local theater, on campus, on your laptop, anywhere you can – and say no to unilateral invasions, to endangering our troops for the sake of oil, to flouting international law and the world community in the name of empire. [ How many inaccuracies can you find in this paragraph? - JSW ] Follow the film with discussions, forums, debates. Keep talking. Keep acting. Let’s give new meaning to the old Strategic Air Command motto, "Peace Is Our Profession."

It's a great movie, and I guess it's a more constructive action than getting naked and spelling out peace, but why do I keep thinking of that old computer cliche "garbage in garbage out"?
