Sailors warning.....

I've been making a lot of noise lately about impeachment, indictment and incarceration of the bushies and I havn't changed my mind about that, but ultimately we need to think beyond the immediate future if we are to change things for the better. We must keep in mind that a portion of the people who voted to oust the rethugs are not anti-war, they are anti-losing war. They are the ones whom we must direct our debates towards as to the futility of war. The truth is war is useless, it is NOT profitable, it is NOT glorious, and the biggest losers are ALWAYS the civilians. The USA needs to re-tool their foreign policy philosophy towards a more peaceful and mutually beneficial nature and quit the old ways of arming and counter-arming other countries as a means of CONTROLLING the situation, because that method never works and ALWAYS comes around as BLOWBACK to our own detriment.

And so lawless has this administration been that even impeachment may not satisfy all the rightful demands of justice.

At the same time, we need to understand that our rage and our urge to avenge the wrongs done to us and our country, however justified, is also a manifestation of a pernicious characteristic of evil: that its patterns are contagious...........more
