  I don't think you could find a hamburger at McDonald's, but good luck with your search.

  Hallo Chris : : Sie sind ein dummes huhn! Arroganter narr aber dümmer, unhöflicher, absurd! Frau verabscheuer! Wandschrank Zionist!

  What's going on with this?
  
  It's been more than two months.
  
  Clearly, people who are motivated to get to Iraq are managing to get there.

  I was under the impression the well had been poisoned and that the whole thing was off. Once it was acknowledged that the primary purpose of funding this from the anti-war perspective was humiliation at best and physical harm at worst, that kind of took the fun out of it.
  
  I should not speak for Chris, however.

  Eric, you've got the history wrong.
  
  You write:
  
  

  Once it was acknowledged that the primary purpose of funding this from the anti-war perspective was humiliation at best and physical harm at worst, that kind of took the fun out of it.

  
  
  But look at the very first comment from mike:
  
  

  William Lind has suggested that all neoconservatives be rounded up and sent to Baghdad to clean up the mess they made, with instructions not to come back until we send the last plane. And then we should forget to send that last plane.
  
  SEND A NEOCONSERVATIVE TO BAGHDAD. It'll make a nice bumper sticker. Order yours today.

  
  
  This was Comment #1. The comment that started it all.
  
  A subsequent volley, almost immediately, was "Chickenhawk Snared!"
  
  My point here is that hostility to neoconservative chickenhawks was part and parcel of this thing from the start. Attempts to rewrite history are mistaken at best and disingenuous at worst.
  
  This was always a challenge to Chris Arabia: You say you're willing to go to Iraq, Chris, but I bet you won't go.
  
  From the start.
  
  As far as I know, he hasn't gone to Iraq. And plenty of other regular folks from the U.S. have managed to get there.

  Since that kind of confirms the atmosphere I was referring to, I guess that is that. I was under the impression that the tone had evolved into something a bit more civil and that the focus had shifted to humanitarianism.
  
  I am not aware that any funds have been collected so I believe it's all pretty moot. But again, I do not pretend to speak for Chris.
  
  If you are still interested in moving this forward, I would speak directly to him. I am only peripheral to the process.
