THE IRAQ WAR will be the singular, defining issue in the 08 campaign and anyone who believes otherwise is living a fantasy akin to Bush himself.

Kudos to California for being the most progressive state in the country! Hope this catches like wildfire. This is one way in which the people can have their voices heard when the administration and the Congress appears to not be listening to them. The recent issue before congress (and subsequent debates this week) will separate the men from the boys - the true patriots from the imposters and charlatans - as well as to further "cull" the candidates in terms of their war stance. Those who voted to enable this despot initially (McCain, Lieberman, Clinton, Biden, Edwards, Kerry have already done their damage from which there is "no way out" ) and those who continue to enable this regime by voting "yes" to escalation (not to be confused with "supporting the troops" which, in fact, can be debated as well in terms of bringing them home being in the best interest of these soldiers and their families in the crossfire of a Civil War)....The names are being registered of those "war mongers" and the People will speak loudly and clearly in 08 when they show, via their vote, that these people are nothing but mere "enablers", "war mongers", misanthropes and charlatans and need to be evicted from office.

While we spend billions on war and destruction, in the name of "national security" (<strong>the US government has spent over $350,000,000,000 on a war in Iraq alone</strong>), the root causes of our troubles are hardly addressed. Eradication of poverty, inequality, ignorance and the protection of the environment worldwide are the only real solutions. These goals can be accomplished, but will require the mobilization of armies of volunteers working toward goals like those set forth in initiatives like <a href="http://www.unmillenniumproject.org/index.htm" rel="nofollow">The Millennium Development Goals</a> (MDG), an initiative the US has pledged to support along with most other nations of the world. The GB government's cutting of funds for volunteers undercuts efforts to improve, even save, people's lives, and diminishes US national security.
