By many accounts, and with the grace of God, the war in Iraq is over. Even Iraq’s ambassador to the United Nations has effectively admitted this.

This news, however, seems lost on the "anti-war" movement. The left-wing Indymedia sites are still discussing plans for upcoming rallies, and Craig Rosebraugh, the former spokesman for the the terrorist-group Earth Liberation Front, has called on anti-war protesters to take "direct actions'' against U.S. military establishments, urban centers, corporations, government buildings and media outlets.

In other words, the leftists are still protesting a war that appears to be already over, except for the clean-up.

I'm not sure why this is. Some of it is the fact that their movement is actually anti-America, not anti-war. But I have to suspect that some of it is simply residual energy. These clowns built up so much anticipation for a quagmire, during which they would protest like it was 1969, that now they have no way to dissipate their orgiastic, America-hating energy.

Luckily for them, I have a suggestion:

Take a cue from what liberal actress Janeane Garafalo promised to do if the United States "goes in, liberates Iraq [with] people in the street, American flags, hugging our soldiers."

Apologize.

That's right.

Apologize to President Bush for calling him a reckless cowboy, for claiming this war could not be won, for claiming he was waging an unjust war, for claiming it would be a massacre.

Apologize to the soldiers they attacked, called baby killers and called for the deaths of.

Apologize, most of all, to the Iraqi people, for efforts at continuing the regime of their mass-murdering oppressor, Saddam Hussein.

And, if they can't do that, if they don't have the integrity to admit they were wrong, then they should take the advice of some
ecstatic Iraqis said on a banner directed towards the Human Shields:

Wankers go home.
