If you were a neighborhood bully on steroids, with the biggest, baddest arsenal in your neighborhood, and if you thought that gave you the right to screw over anyone you felt like screwing over, to take their assets against their will and kill or imprison all who go in your way, you'd have much in common with the US government. In fact, there would be lots of good people who truly love justice, who would love to see you get your big fat head get chopped off. If you were a big old apeman, maybe you'd concentrate on enlarging your arsenal, but if you were a decent, normal, imperfect human being - you would look at what caused all those people to want you dead and you'd sprout some humility. You'd stop screwing them around, try to make amends, and seek their forgiveness. You'd try to make the transition from bad to good. If we really want to solve the problems of the world, we have to work on the causes, rather than the effects (of US government backed arrogance, corruption, extreme greed, and extreme violence). We have to be honest with ourselfs, and admit that we are no better than anyone else, ie: we stink up the air with our sh__ just as bad as anyone else. We've dropped thousands of tons of bombs on the Iraqi people - and justified it all with lies. Our government has destroyed many democratically elected governments that refused to become slave plantations or US colonies. US economic hitmen have cheated third world countries out of trillions - and on and on. The billionaires who control the US politicians, news media and military know or beleive that super rich corrupt regimes before them, got away with exploiting the hell out of the weak and ignorant, so they beleive that they can do it too. They are wrong. They're going to have to stop solving everything 'the old fashioned way' with force and deception. Business as usual won't hack it much longer. It's time to use our heads rather than our muscles. Everybody on earth matters, everyone is important, and politicians who decide to bomb other nations for any reason, are genocidal maniacs who need to be locked up and treated by mental health professionals. . It is our job to keep (or get) them out of power. Tidings of comfort and joy! :-D Do the right thing, vote to: http://www.ImpeachBush.org
