I was a grown adult, super busy with two young kids, a writer of fiction for children, not an expert in international affairs or domestic politics -- and it was completely obvious to me that Iraq had not attacked us, had no WMD, and our government was lying to us to foment war.

It was the first protest march I participated in.(born in 1958) The police only allowed us to stand in place, no marching allowed. 2 per corner if we were good. I had a teen daughter who made a big sign that read Violence begets violence.

Fake news was more disorienting when every outlet was repeating it. I remember an NPR interview w Condi Rice, me yelling at the radio, “Ask her why the tubes are anodized!” I thought I was the crazy one, not the reporter who didn’t ask the question.

I was 22 and never believed any of the rationales. Also, I found the doctrine of preemption a hollow, contrived excuse that was destined to fail
