When Harry tortures a suspect into revealing the location of the girl he'd kidnapped, the courts let the crud go. In Mad's take Harry's superior says, "These are the principles that made America Great." Harry replies, "Yeah? Well me and the audience just decided that we prefer the principles that made NAZI GERMANY great!"

Hm , I do not want to sound rude, but WHEN exactly USA could do it? While genociding Natives? While enslaving Blacks? While colonising Cuba? While enforcing Jim Crow laws? While lyniching? While supporting Russian contrrevolution? While planning to a-bomb USSR? While one more time attacking Cuba? While toppling Aliende? While bombing Iraq (no, not in Bush-jr, time),while bombing Yugoslavia? While supporting Israel against Lebanon and Palestinans (one more time, not in Bush-jr. time)? BFORE Abu-Graib USA's mentors taught how to torture, and some people even know about it :( In short, I am affraid all the history of USA does NOT looks SO good from outside, sorry. “There was a time when the United States could stand proudly before countries like Cuba, Myanmar, Sudan, and Iran and lecture them on human rights and democracy.”

I cannot recall a feeling of global unity with a sense of purpose and not the overreaction we are seeing post 9/11. The movie documentary "In the Shadow of the Moon" has been lauded for its reminder of world concern about the safe return of the Apollo astronauts. In the movie Independence Day, the world unified under the extraterrestial threat of its demise. Why does Bush hate the UN? Because a UN global peacebuilding initiative would end his abuse of the industrial/military complex ala the warnings of Dwight Einsenhower.

Chris Dodd has said he would restore the Constitution and I believe Dennis Kocinich would too but they don't stand a chance. I do not believe that Rudy will be the next POTUS. If he is then we should all just bend over and kiss our ass goodbye. He would be an even more authoritarian President than Cheney is. His wierd factor just multiplied by a factor of 5 with his phone call from Judith during the NRA speech and then his $9.11 fund raiser. Doe's this guy ever miss an opportunity to exploit 911? In front of the NRA, I think he just came across as WHIPPED. I have Republican friends who are ready to quit voting and move to Saudi Arabia to work to avoid their children being drafted eventually, (not sure why they would want to move to such a represive place). I don't think they have thought that one out. My neighbor says that everyone is talking about how disturbed they are and when I try to tell her how bad it really is she just says that she can't handle it just tell her who to vote for. That is amazing to me. You are so right about the mediocrity of the thinking of the American people. What is worse is the more that the Dem's look like they have Stockholm syndrome, the worse option they seem to be but they just can't seem to figure out how to get the PR right and then grow a spine and take them on. I am having a hard time hoping they will win if they can't even win a battle where the country is with them. So what do we do? I was in San Francisco a week ago and went to the Federal Building on Sunday to protest with the ENOUGH, IMPEACH crowd and there was only one brave man there. I brought 3 others with me. They did have a group at the Golden Gate Bridge the day before who layed on the ground to spell out Impeach Bush but then again the media won't cover it so who knows what is happening. There is no real organization yet even though I do think there is even bi partisan support for it if you listen to people like Bruce Fein and John Paul Craig. So where does that leave us? Is America asleep like Germany in the 30's as danger grows or are these people just harmless and trying to protect America? I would really love to think that they are harmless but they seem to be amassing power in a very systematic way and while I understand that they believe in a strong President, I also see the abuse and lack of real oversight. It is time the Democrats in Congress and the Senate push the Contempt of Congress charges and have a real show down. That might get the attention of the country. Well if Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton don't get another DWI. I am constantly amazed at how easily the people are distracted by the objects which have no bearing on their quality of life, even as they ignore all that does. Well, I have to go and listen to the media about Burma, Who knew we cared? I am glad Bush told us and the media dutifully followed the lead. Bill,
