An Unseemly Mess!

The latest outrage of the Bushites, is to blame yesterday's nuclear test by the Koreans, on the Clinton administration. All the foreign newspapers are saying, that ever since the Bushites unilaterally and illegally, invaded and occupied Iraq, a sovereign country that did not attack us, nor was capable of doing so, every other country, particularly those branded as part of the 'axis of evil', have no choice but to gather and test their own weapons to defend themselves if similarly attacked. They are also saying this is the first nuclear domino, and shortly, Japan, Taiwan, China, So. Korea, Pakistan, India, and Saudi Arabia, must do the same to protect themselves from the possible new threat to the world community, posed by the unstable, North Korea. The Bushites must love chaos - everything they have touched, from Iraq to Katrina, to the current Congressional Page scandal etc, has been nothing but chaotic and an unseemly, unmitigated disaster. What is really stunning, is that as murderous, clueless, inept and duplicitous the Bushites are, more than 30% of the voters still approves of and supports them! For them to have any support at this point, is a sure sign that we are on the edge of an abyss, waiting to implode.
By the way, what if all this chaos and nuclear proliferation, is a deliberately planned outcome, to justify giving massive 'star-war' type contracts to the defense industry buddies of the Bushites??? Am I being too cynical???

I don't think you're being cynical, but, instead, very much on point...sadly. It would be yet another shame if this is also part of a manipulative tactic to award more contracts to the Bushites. But at this point, you cain't put it past them.

(sidebar: I can't believe that your president has been on t.v. almost an hour now. Babbling. I can forget hope that this was going to be quick.)

I shudder at the thought of this country reaping what it's sown. This morning I saw John McCain being interviewed with a panicked look on his face discussing N. Korea's direct nuclear threat. How do we think that we can always get away with dropping bombs in other folks' homeland, and forever escape the direct repercussions? If every Bush supporter would just stop and imagine for a moment what the reality would be like of a bomb actually being dropped in this country killing thousands of innocents...just as we have done over and over, from the past to the present. 9/11 was horrific enough, but could we imagine this on an almost daily basis?

One of the strongest principles in the bible is to "love your neighbor as yourself." If only we could just do that. If only. But instead of love, the basic principle of this country is based on fear...and often greed. And then the hypocrisy sets in. And the recipe yields what we have now.
