The S Spot
Democracy Now!
The plan to instigate more trouble in this region continues. Turkey is bombing Kurds in norther Iraq right now and all of 9 months ago the US may have been Sponsoring Kurdish Guerilla Attacks Inside Iran? Listen I don't know what the real truth is but I am praying that we can get a president into power that might be able to straighten us out. Stop meddling about in the the Middle East perhaps a return to more goverment not less? A president who values the Constitution? A president who will stand up to big business, corporate interests, the not so almighty dollar? A president who will not cut and run from the problems we have created and I say we because our president didn't get there on his own. But to really step back and make things right. Is 4 years or 8 years even enough time to begin to fix the mess?
Will the majority of Americans only think about this while in theater eating a five gallon bucket of popcorn watching Charlie Wilson's War. Get out of the theater get in their oversized SUV gas guzzler and tool off to their oversized overpriced houses. Money to change history. To write it as you think it should be so. I understand that the families and friends of our military feel acutely the effects of America trying to steer the course of history. I feel for them.
But what of the people in America that are selling our own country in pieces to foreign interest who will take land away from people in the name of a better something or other or an interstate highway. Did you know that? I didn't. I guess everything's for sale. People making money off these deals, people like Guiliani - possibly, check out Rolling Stone piece by Michael Schnaeyrson on Guiliani. Privatization Eminent domain. I guess our country wouldn't be what it was if all those people in the history books hadn't decided that the vision they had was better than that of the original people on the land. I guess that's true, but it doesn't make it right.
