With the erosion of civil rights in this country taking place and the american public keeping mostly silent, I am very curious to know, is what would you the American People do if and I state the word if Bush decided to cancel elections and declare himself president until the war on terror has been won. Now remember he said it will be a war that may take generations to fight. Would you rise up and declare him an enemy of the constitution and kick him out of office and arrest him, or would you sit passivly by, quivering in the corner saying “what can we do about it”?

1. Ahmadinejad is not the dictator of Iran. As many posters have pointed out, he was elected ( and as upside99 says, he’ll probably lose the next election due to Iran’s poor ecenomic condition) and the Mullahs are in charge and can veto anything they want.
2. Only a small number on the left are pacifists. Most like me, think defeating the Taliban and bringing Bin Laden to justice is the right thing to do. Too bad Bush failed at this by dropping the ball at Tora Bora.
3. The isolationist Right ignored Hitler’s dangerous rise to power as well.
4. The American Government has supported plenty of cruel dictators who achieve their goals through violent means.
5. History didn’t teach Bush how to avoid a civil war quagmire in Iraq.

Yeah, but then we wouldn’t have an excuse to start another war, would we?

He is up for re-election and will be very likely voted out of office within the next year, so why is this such a big issue? The majority of the Iranian population doesn’t follow his beliefs and will dump him.

She claimed that when she gave the President ‘authorization to use force’ in 2002 , she did not know then what the intelligence was, although everybody with a computer can find out in few minutes that Saddam had no WMDS .
she claimed:”If I had known then, what I know now, I would not have voted to give Bush the authorization to use force’.

Did she know few days ago when she authorized Bush again to start another war gainst Iran ?!!

First, read Scott Ritter’s excellent article, “Iraq Will Have to Wait.”

From Scott Ritter’s article :

The administration always heeded the justifications for aborting an attack, primarily because there was time still left on the clock, so to speak. But time is running out. Israel has drawn a red line across the calendar, indicating that if Iran has not pulled back from its nuclear ambitions by the end of 2007, military action in early spring 2008 will be inevitable.
Put opposition to the war in Iraq on the back burner and make preventing a war with Iran the No. 1 priority, at least until the national election cycle kicks in during the summer of 2008. If a war with Iran hasn’t happened by then, it probably won’t.

Scott Ritter was right about WMDs and Iraq. I’m afraid he’s right again. His article is at commondreams.org

[ I also see how pathetic it is that Hillary led the brigade on selling us out with the dems vote. Interesting !, what she will say now when she's put on the grill about it ??]

She will give you a smile and ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and ha ha ha and more louder ha ha ha ha ha ha .

Who holds the power in Iran:

1.The ‘Supreme Leader’ Ali Khameneie,who is the head of the state and also the ‘commander in chief’ of Iranian forces.

2. The ‘Guardian Council’, 12 members, 6 appointed cleriks,and 6 appointed by the Majlis( Iranian Parliament). they have the power to approve or disapprove any bill or any elected member.

3. President of Iran..elected by Iranians.
AhmadiNejad has been in power little over 2 years,he was elected by popular vote.

4.The Majlis(Parliament) which legistlate,and agrees on national and international agreements,foreign policy and treaties.
The Majlis has the power to approve,dispprove any cabinet member,has the power of ‘confidence call’ against the prime minister should they wish to do so,as a parliamentary system.

So Ahmadinejad is not the Hitler they are trying to make him…The Parliament (Majlis) ,or the Spiritual leader and the Guidance Council can send him home anytime they wish…he cannot declare war,or start one.

He has been in power little over 2 years. He is not Saddam who held over all power in Iraq..Iran is a different story than Iraq under Saddam and the Ba’ath Party rule. Simply AhmadiNejad does not call the shots..

If there was ever a case for keeping Gitmo open, Blakeman and his “followers” are it, for our sake and their new home!

So true, but it’s not just Hitler. What about Cheney? Plus with Hitler we didn’t have Fox News to deal with. Of course all the Neville Chamberlains in Congress plus all the “good Germans” among the public who believe his lies don’t help. I’m not sure Hitler can be stopped.

They’re attempting to break the world’s record for the largest circle-jerk in recorded history.

I feel sorry for the janitorial staff. They’ll never get all those cheetos stains out of the rug…
