Question: If Iraq was a terrible mistake ( and perhaps it was), what alternatives would you propose? I’m sick and tired of people saying “End the War” and “Get out of Iraq.” I mean, maybe they are right, maybe we should get out of Iraq and let the bloodthirsty radical Muslims kill each other. But what alternative do you propose. Do you honestly think that the Islamo Fascists will be satisfied if we leave Iraq? Nothing short of world wide Islamic rule will satisfy them. We are at war not just with nation states, but with a dangerous relgion, radical Islam. How do we combat it? Or do we just sit back, blame Israel for everything, repeal the patriot act and tie the hands of law enforcement,and wait until the Muslim nazis get nuclear weapons and hit us again?

People in the US have been brainwashed into believing that when country is not ruled in a democratic way the People can not affect what the Govt. does.

Sure they can. In fact, People would always get what they want – the only question is at what cost. When 99% of the polulation hates the Govt. – such Govt. would be swept away – but not by means of an ordely democratic process, but by means of a bloody rebellion.

No amount of force and coercion can keep the hated regime in place, if indeed 99% of the population wants it to go down.

Very good case in point is the USSR – I believe that one true and real cause of it’s collapse was the Afgan war. When indeed 99% of the population did not like the Govt – it did not take long. Since Gorbachev managed to open up information feedback channels before it was too late – it took very little blood – literally of 2 people.

But Bush seems to be doing quite the opposite – i.e. clogging the information feedback channels as the war gets less and less popular.

Correction: the word “general” should replace the words “front office administrative”. Sorry.

There are big government/small warfare countries like Sweden. But I can’t think of a single big warfare nation that had a small government. Maintaining an empire is not only expensive per se, but is necessarily intertwined with mammoth domestic government power and spending.

It’s that old tradeoff. The president gets to run the war he wants to with Congress’s aid, while Congress gets to earmark all the pork it wants to with the president’s approval.

Since “mainstream” media has betrayed us all by not doing its damn duty in going after the bastards, as if that’s a surprise, it’s then left up to the rest of us to sift through the dross for those bits o’truth.

Apologists or not, the vast, vast majority of the citizens of the USA disdainfully disapprove of the policies of President Bush and of Congress. I don’t think that most of us think that the Bush, Cheney, and their entire front office administrative staff should be taken out and shot, which is what the Honorable General Dwight Eisenhower said should be done to the 1,000 or so in Hitler’s administration. However, on the Lou Dodd Report survey, 90% of the respondents said that it will certainly take more than ten years for most of the middle class Americans to recover from the mishandling of our economy thanks to the Decider Bush’s reign.
