lol...
at first i supported the war, voted for bush twice.
then i learned about 911 and the WMD lies and was upset.
i'd still love to see investigations, but the reality is that we won't.
however, everyone knows now. Even Theresa Heinz Kerry nodded at the thermate question yesterday. everyone knows.
the more i studied - the current situation, history, and our financial performance trends in the world - the more i realized that these things have been going on for decades, since the wnd of WWII, as we learned what happens when WE don't control the earth - you get a hitler who tries to do it. Russia realized it too, and we both tried to be "the guy". Luckily, we won. however, globalization and the web has made our advantages shrink over the years, and the end of oil is very real and very scary. So, we are acting while we have the chance. yes, we slashed our own tires to justify stealing a new car. But we need a ride, and it's this or walk.
So, we're living thru a rough time. When bush talks, it's obviously lies and fearmongering, but the goal he has serves us - conquer mid east nations, secure oil, and build bases. The words he shares are for the stupid people - the swing 20% that steer elections. i still consider the neotaints here to be stupid as pigshit. All this talk about "doing it to share democracy" is laughable to anyone with a brain cell.
I don't like it, berserker. But it's the reality. As individuals, we are insignificant. Even those major players involved are insignificant. We're all just a pile of goo with a semblance of a conscience, working for the greater collective continium. the machine is very efficient now, and it's working. The war is failing, but the goals - bases, pipeline, position - are all working great. Was a peaceful iraq EVER a goal? I doubt it.
Anyway, it's a sad day for me to realize what i think is the inevitable and sad state of thigns. And I know the pendulum swings and we'll get a dem in, and he/she will bring domestic prosperity for a bit while the next repub waits in the wings with battle plans. I give up trying to challenge it or fight it though. Pointless.
