The analogy between Iraq and Vietnam is funny. When you think about our reason for fighting in Vietnam was because we felt if Vietnam fell to communism the rest of southeast Asia would also fall to communism.
Our reason for fighting in Iraq was because if we could establish a democracy in the middle east, the rest of the middle east would fall to democracy.
Which hypocrisy is worse?
for me i felt we occupied iraq for reasons of capitalism under the shield of democracy. some day this country is going to realize that not all people of the world want to live their lives like us. having said that i'm all for human rights ie. woman rights in iraq/iran. but personally i feel all this do good democracy cheer is capitalism. this is the empire looking for resources/"free' trade. more likely cheap labor and areas for corporations to establish themselves with NO rules/TAXES.
Isn't funny that most enemies of the US nationalize and protect their natural resources.
was another contrivance of the right wing to drag this country into war.
i was up at tahoe for a couple weeks. i actually had a chance to watch bloomberg News instead of cnbc financial. in my opinion, bloomberg seemed much less political at least less bias. cnbc is covering/ propping up wallstreet. i'm not so foolish to think that politicians aren't somewhat responsible for the financial crisis, but i personally look at wallstreet as the main culprit. TAX havens,derivatives,short selling,bonuses,private jets..........cnbc has been bashing obama and his team, but when the markets rise nothing. i guess bad news is the only news.
I found this talk interesting:
"What exactly does Obama's budget do? With 1,000 jobs being lost every hour and a tax system that favors the wealthy, our guests discuss what’s in the new budget and the limits to progressive reform.
David Cay Johnston former New York Times reporter and the author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense, Irasema Garza president of Legal Momentum, and Joel Berg Executive Director of New York City Coalition Against Hunger and the author of All You Can Eat: How Hungry is America? discuss the budget battle."

on Black Money.
Makes for some interesting watching...
I mean...who'd a thought that Prince Bandar was a thug and a theif..and felt a sense of entitlement???
Actually, it is a good show, and brings up an entire new group of questions.
Is excellent.
The wealthy conservatives are eating their own...Nice.
I wonder when, or if they will start figuring out that when you teach your kids that it is okay to steal, lie and cheat, that they may apply those principals to YOUR money,educational endeavors and foundations, with the same lack of concern that they would use for the "less privileged".
Roy's piece is even better than his usual.
I covered Warren's bit yesterday, too - she seems like one of the few responsible people in the administration when it comes to recovery and bailouts. I hope she's heeded.
Roger Ebert's full letter to O'Reilly is definitely worth a read.
Why do Americans HATE Canadians?
Now its BillyBob
