McGovern Speaks on War

In The Reason Why George McGovern speaks his mind on the regime of George II and the invasion of Iraq. The opening paragraph sets the tone:

Thanks to the most crudely partisan decision in the history of the Supreme Court, the nation has been given a President of painfully limited wisdom and compassion and lacking any sense of the nation's true greatness. Appearing to enjoy his role as Commander in Chief of the armed forces above all other functions of his office, and unchecked by a seemingly timid Congress, a compliant Supreme Court, a largely subservient press and a corrupt corporate plutocracy, George W. Bush has set the nation on a course for one-man rule.

He mentions that he has been unable to get these views aired in outlets such as The Washington Post and he is grateful to The Nation for giving him a platform to speak in its April 21, 2003 issue. I am grateful to my friend Fred Anderson on Ecunet for bringing this to my attention.
