Bush argued the current debate over the Iraq war and the administration's anti-terror methods harkens back to debates decades ago over resisting action when Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin first talked about launching a communist revolution, when Adolf Hitler began moves to establish an "Aryan superstate" in Germany, and in the early days of the Cold War when some advocated accommodation of the Soviet Unio
Yes, there is the question, "Well, what if I'm wrong?" in the back of your head when it comes to being opposed to the actions of the Bush/Cheney administration. It's playing directly into the tactics of fear that this administration has used over and over to garner "pseudo" support for an action that has gone terribly wrong.
George Santayana's quote on history is the first thing on the top right column of this blog. What kind of learning is necessary? Why is there always an "axis of evil"? Why has the Bush/Cheney administration said that there is no room to talk with Iran and, in fact, turned down Iran for direct, non-conditional talks in the past?
I used to think that maybe a nuclear war would be what it takes to make people come to their senses at the senselessness of this sort of conflict. One thing that I forgot to take into consideration is the lack of sense in people like Bush, Cheney and Ahmadinejad. It's interesting that all three are "lame ducks". Of course, the scary thing is that we have until 2009 before these lamesters are out of office. While, ironically, bin Laden goes on his merry little way.
What's the difference between reading the pulse on the mind of a nation/world or a finger on the button of destruction?
just asking...
