Well, sorry - but at least I'm trying to change the inclination somewhat 
with this article (alas, it's still about fascism).  And - get this - it's 
from Harry Browne (a Libertarian Party presidential candidate from not too 
long ago).  I find it devastating.

"And when you've sacrificed your life, it no longer matters whether Iraq is 
"liberated" or oppressed, because you don't exist any more. It no longer 
matters whether George Bush is a great leader or a megalomaniac, because you 
no longer have a life with which to be affected by it. You are no more.":
