"By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas." Thus Kurt Vonnegut in "Cold Turkey," at In These Times' website, where he sounds off on everything from the Sermon on the Mount to Mel Gibson's greed to smoking to America's oil addiction.
