  America was always a nation whose dreams and visions allowed us to reach beyond sordid realities. Now the visions have turned dark and even reality has a hard time matching the horrors on offer by the Bush admin. It's time to call them out and reclaim both our vision and our future. Thanks for speaking up.

  It is back to "Lord of the Flies by William Golding, which talked about the basic savagery in man. And it is a replay of the events that led up to the Second World War. Germany humiliated, unable to manage itself financially, and unable to protect itself from the goons that took to beating up people on behalf of Hitler. Hitler became inevitable. What caused the aftermath to become horrific was the inability -- more unwillingness -- on the part of the strongest countries to prevent the tyrant from growing bigger. Iraq's problems will also, eventually, be solved by a strongman, a tyrant. There's no escaping that fact. What the world -- not the US -- will have to see is that he does not grow bigger. To do that, ALL oil contracts in Iraq will have to be renegotiated so that they don't become another Ruhr Valley situation

  I have long recognized a certain psychosis in the behavior of the current administration, and this article put its finger right on the nub! We are all aware of the preoccupation of this group to attacking Iraq prior to the 2000 election. I just never connected the dots so thoroughly. We had better stop wishing and DO SOMETHING!
