Time flies when you're having fun

Arkat Kingtroll reminisces a bit:
My goodness, time does fly.

I remember two years back. Oct. 7, 2001. Twenty days after the war began, and we had just started bombing Afghanistan. We had no idea what would happen—for all we knew, we might be in the bloodiest fighting since Iwo Jima.
Yep and all the handwringers were whining and wringing their hands to help out the war effort. Then there was the fifth column:
Out in San Francisco, the communists were protesting. The Worker’s World Party, AKA the International Action Center, AKA the newly-formed International ANSWER, managed to rally a few dozen people in downtown San Francisco to protest against America’s counterattack against al-Qaeda.

I was there, with a fairly moderate sign—it read “Our Dead Will Be Avenged”.

Well, it’s been over two years. We’ve gone from success to success—some more alloyed than others, but on the whole, everything’s gone far better than I expected. And, well, the anti-America Left is hating life.
I'd break out a violin, but they mostly do that anyhow.
They’ve held a lot of protests. Some got big crowds, some got small ones. Our soldiers keep winning battles, and keep failing to die or kill in large numbers, and that makes it tough for the WWP to get the numbers out there. But they keep trying!

In fact, they’ll be out tomorrow.
Some people like football, some like to march with their wingnut pals. Maybe it's a neat way to pick up vegetarian hotties? Although if it's the WWP, I suspect they look more like Mother Bloor or Rosa Luxemburg.

In any case, Arkat has made his own signs so he can join in the festivities and he shares them with us. Follow the link for a preview.
