No surprise to me! The sad fact is, there’s no viable fix to the corruption and arrogance in D.C. An extreme democracy makeover is urgently needed so that qualified people from the working class in America can represent their own people in D.C. What, after all, do most of the wealthy, arrogant, entitled, lawyer reps in D.C. care or know of the struggles of working class people to support, raise and protect their own families? More than ever, we have been reminded the last six years of this truth. Asking those very reps to fix that problem is a joke.

As a Canadian, I’m very concerned about this election and next. If the USA is willing to invade Iraq to preserve their oil profits, how long will it be until they recognise the ease with which they could take over Canada’s resources.
Bushwa and Co. seem to have persuaded Americans that the Canadian border needs to be fortified. I wonder if the Polish had similar feelings back in 1939 as they watched Germany ramp up the tension between the two countries? Do you suppose Canada will “attack” the USA?
Perthaps I should be happy that many of the US military leaders are critical of the Bushwa administration’s handling of the war in Viet Nam (oops! I meant Iraq) but their criticism mainly seems to be that the war wasn’t prosecuted vigorously enough.
The Bush administration has repeatedly seen fit to criticize the Canadian government on issues such as the decriminalisation of marijuana and gay marriage. Interestingly, 31 states have passed similar legislation. It makes me wonder what is on the long term agenda for Canada.
I am not surprised at the rise of American Fascism. I predicted that 9/11 would be Bush’s springboard for the curtailment of civil liberties. Secret prisons, torture, suspension of Habeus Corpus, etc. No surprises there.
Can the USA ever claim a superior moral position again? Not likely!
