An article on P.B.S. today, suggested that America and many countries are ruled by a class of "elite" old men, who are unwilling to risk their own children in time of war. I have argued , since the invasion of Iraq, that "When George W. Bush's daughters are serving in the National Guard; and stationed in the "front-lines" in Bagdad; ONLY THEN WILL I SUPPORT THE WAR. " The sons of F.D. Roosevelt fought in WWII; but the Bush administration feels that it is "O.K." to send other -people's children to die in a highly-questionable war; which may NEVER be won. It is odd that our president cannot grasp the concept of "opening-a-can-of-worms". The various "warlords" and tribal-leaders in Iraq have been killing each other for centuries; yet Bush feels complelled to wage a "conventional" war, and "stay the course". We must not trust someone who never changes-their-mind, or admits that they are wrong; yet "Dubyah-dumbshit" continues to "Stay-the course". Funny, that's just what lemmings do! The most patriotic thing any of us can do, is to question the motives & actions of our politicians! George & Dick are scheduled to appear before the Senate "9-11" investigation comittee. They have not agreed to appear individually; but only as a "Team". Perhaps they only possess ONE brain between the two of them, or maybe George needs someone to "pull-his-strings"..... he has long been a "puppet" of corporations and lobbyists. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
