Re: Interview in Rolling Stone - May 3-17, 2007

And the war drags on . . .
My disappointment is how we all saw how terrible Vietnam was, and yet
we -- and our appointed leaders -- allowed ourselves to be drawn into
the same thing. I was watching C-Span when the Democrats folded and
voted in Bush's favor [to authorize military action in Iraq]. I was
actually crying out, "No, don't do it!" I wenated to go into the TV,
grab Hillary [Clinton], get on my knees and say, "Hillary, don't do
it. I know you're a better person."

The above is Patti Smith from an interview conducted by David Fricke
in the May 3 - 17, 2007 issue of Rolling Stone, the 40th anniversary
issue. [snip]
