Is it me or anyone else gets this feeling that Bush admininstration folks are all used car lot salesman when they talk about benefiting from reconstruction of Iraq. Even the long dead British empire never talked so bluntly about devouring a subject nation, eventhough they were doing it. Are we losing our minds or neocons think American people are dumb?
Everytime I see references in news media to how much American companies are going to gain from Iraq, or Europians that didn't help with the war will be locked out, little of my hope for the future of mankind dies..................Is this one of the pillars of that we stand for from invading a small ($15B/year) country!?!?!? I am ashaimed of what our politicians have become... If that is the case why don't we bomb the hell out of China and rebild it?
HAVE WE GONE MAD
I just refuse to belive that we as the people can just read about these events and go on paying our mortgages, vacation at Disneyland, plan out son or doughter's weddings,....etc.

Lets be clear about few things here:
1) UN is dead, we killed it, don't be talking about getting them back to cleanup your mess, they are not the mexican house mades.
2) Lies...lies....lies...End should not justify the means
3) Can't pull out and can't stay...did someone say Vietnam...I hope not,,,elections are closer than you think.
4) Are we safer today than we were before the invasion....well!! are we?
5) Escalation..escalation..is the name of occupation
I hope we have the fortitut to learn form our mistakes and build on them rather than forfilling profecy. Don't mix honor and pride with doing the right thing.

It is frustrating that after 27 or so years of looking out I find our world so unneccessarly fucked up. What I see more clearly is that we, right/left, or any other idealogy want the same think, except in tring to go about it difrently we get side trcked. Just look at neocons right now, they had (some still have) this great idea to fix the world and rid it of all the bad, ungodly elements. But what we have going now is series of brush fires that needs putting out meanwhile the original idea is begining to fade. They've all done that before, Billy did it.
The anology I have goes like this, your parents have all the right intentions to raise a good producitve, creative, and independant person. To get you there they do everything in their power to provide you what you need to become that person. Meanwhile as you become more your own man dad or mom begin not to like what they see and give you that dirty look.... and disappointed glance....
You then starat saying what the fuck they want from me and shit hits the fan from there.........................Do you see the pattern.
Our world situation from its environment to geopolitics has been side tracked that way as long as I can remember. Here are an example of what has happend to events in recent past:
We told USSR you are an evil empire and should go away and free your people, they did, and people, namely satelite countries became independant. But look at that mess over in central asia and no one is saying a peep. There are four or five Afganistans in the terror boiler cooking. No one, No one other than some wacko far leftwingers are saying anything about Chechnia or other places over there. All that is because we now don't like what we see and in some ways wish the old USSR would take charge again....You see like parents that wishes the loud mouth junior could go back in time and stay in grade school.
Because NO ONE HAS A VISION ANYMORE....Instead of occuppying useless Iraq we could have lead the way by not sleeping with dictators like..Mobarak, Abdulah, Saud family, bunch of African, central/south American el-presidente for life, and numarous Asian kings and lords.
For crying out loud we can't even figure out how to bring real democracy to Mexico with which we have so much in common. Why is it that a great nation like Mexico can't provide for its citizen and so many of them have to come to US? You think we can export democracy halfway across the world...Are they on something or we are being spined.
The 21st century could have ushred a true democracy based on individule freedom for all citizens of this planet. NOW that is vision. Even a FREE (truley free) market model can bring that all inclusive freedom to all people not just the board members. But this freedom means that we all respect one another's cultures and allow cutural freedom to be part and parcel of this individual freedom.
Its funny we in this country talk about diversity and multiculturalizim, but when it comes to our foreign policy its onle American interest that is paramont. SO..are we an empire or not. If our mission is higher than that then lets show it...Otherwise everyone except born agian and the heartland will see right throught the smoke and mirror.
I am afriad with this current way of dealing with conflic, which is the same method that has been excecised for dacades, we're going to fill the 21st century with yet more wars and agony. The Histroy channel will have lot more programing material, but nothing more......
>>>>>WE BETTER Reformat THE HARD DRIVE>>>>
One last thing...mainstream media is becoming like walmart, big and irrelavant to the future but lot of cheap shit for today.
