Iraq, are you kidding me? Didn't little George learn ANYthing from his Dad's mistakes? Clearly not. I guess he's only human, which is why the founders of this country, the authors of the United States Constitution, made this a government of the MANY rather than a monarchy of a single person, or oligarchy of a small group of likeminded individuals. The many will balance, and come up with a group decision. While I am certainly skeptical of even the Congress's ability to act as a diverse, representative group, I am wholly in disbelief that El Dingbat and his cronies (Dubya et al) should be pulling executive strings to launch forceful attacks on Iraq.
And here's a little something that we can do to send a message. Go here and send an email. It's easy. Then send this link to someone else. Etc, etc, etc... Who knows what it does, but it's certainly better than sitting back in an armchair and wishing this bullshit government would wise up. Our allies are going to slip away, and leave us in our overweight, indulgent dust, whimpering about fairness and lack of support. Can you blame Europe for looking at us like the second coming of the evil they fought to defeat? We strut about the Middle East, directing traffic. We force genetically modified food on poor countries who can't compete with our glut of products. We slather our buttery drivel of a culture over thousands of years of collective wisdom throughout the world, and wonder why violence rages, and hatred reigns.
America needs to go to its room and think about what it is doing wrong, and not come down until it recognizes that it is being a big bully. Pushing around countries who don't agree with it, because it's ultimately afraid that maybe, just maybe, it's the US that has something to learn about peace, TRUE prosperity and happiness. Look around the world. We may just be the least happy country in the world, the least healthy and the least proud. It's not hard to imagine that we'll be left all alone if the rest of the world stops indulging our whims and sticks up for itself, or just turns a cheek.
