katy – - we see here a blueprint for what happens when a dictator’s power and continued rule is challenged. We also have a “leader” here in the U.S. who is at his most dangerous when he feels his power is threatened.

Best way to describe the GWOT or any other aspect of the GWB administration…

In order to have a rational discussion of the ability of the U.S. to bring democracy to the Middle East you have to first be able to consider that this was ever a goal of the GWB administration. I can’t come to the conclusion. Nothing that Bush has done leads me to believe that he cares about anything but money, power & oil. So while it may be possible for a future U.S. administration to accomplish this goal I have absolutely no faith that it’s a goal of this one.

Anytime, “Vice President Cheney confidently declared that â€œa free democratic Iraq will be a strategic partner in the heart of the Middle East,” rational Americans must worry.

Mr. three deferrments, a few dui’s, a couple of Heinies and a supporter shot in the face later . . .

A rational American can fairly conclude that this wack job supported Nixon, convinced us of mushroom clouds if Sadam wasn’t squashed, and dreamed of an Iraq-9-11 link in support of democracy in Iraq.

He lied. He’s continued to weild his paranoia to convince Americans tha secret meetings with oil companies haven’t led to a surge in oil prices from $36 dollars a barrel when Bush was elected to almost $100 dollars today, a world that is less safe, 4,000 soldiers dead, thousands more maimed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead or maimed (yeah, Cheney’s plea was that we would liberate them). American ambassadors who denounce American policy in Iraq and consider their deployment there “a potential death sentence.”

Oh Dick. You suck.

So our hostage will be our greatest ally. Is this some sort of treatise on the Stockholm Syndrome ?

Hmmm. We invade a couple foreign countries and terrorism explodes worldwide. Nope. No chance it’s cause and effect.
