Utopia Lost and Found

David Anderson at In Search of Utopia has a nice crew filling in for him while he's doing the business thing (oh, look, he's back now).

Angel from Rogue Angel cross posts some good material between David's and her own blog, including:

* a letter tribute to Marla Ruzicka, the selfless angel and founder of CIVIC who tried so hard to bring hope as well as an accurate Iraqi civilian body count to the (latest)Iraq War, and
* some of the latest talented work from the good folks at Zen Comix
* and a quote from the new Pope I had not read before:
"There were not sufficient reasons to unleash a war against Iraq. To say nothing of the fact that, given the new weapons that make possible destructions that go beyond the combatant groups, today we should be asking ourselves if it is still licit to admit the very existence of a 'just war.'"
