Followed by the 2-Minutes Hate?

This sounds both dreadful and well, dreadful.

The Pentagon would hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing today.

"This year the Department of Defence will initiate an America Supports Your Freedom Walk," Rumsfeld said, adding that the march would remind people of "the sacrifices of this generation and of each previous generation".

The march will start at the Pentagon, where nearly 200 people died on September 11, 2001, and end at the National Mall with a show by country star Clint Black.

But if you think it sounds like a cloying, idiotic, NASCAR-like stunt, why you are just un-American, you pinko rock or jazz music lover.

Peter King, Republican of New York, a state famous for its love of country music says so:

"We are at war," said Representative Pete King, (Republican, New York).

"It's essential that we support our troops."

He also said attacking Iraq was necessary after September 11.

I believe Peter King managed to violate the rules of logic so bad there are now charges pending at the Hague as a crime against humanity.
