And why can't the populace be skeptical of the trite words that are used to justify this senseles war? Why has lazy thinking made it accepable that defunding this outrage equals wishing harm to come to the soldiers on the ground? What adolescent thought pattern has overtaken the American public discourse? And why isn't any major politico talking back to this nonsense? Ron Paul, of Texas, tried to speak to the issues but was overtaken by the dim-witted likes of Juiliani!!
Can any wisdom come forth to combat this dumbed-down country?
At this moment I feel very discouraged for this country.
The real "intelligence failure" was most pronounced by the public that elected him not once but twice. Secondly, the pathetic main stream media who were more committed to sucking up to the administration than simply performing their job, which is to be sceptical and ask hard questions again & again, rather than prance on a stage with the revolting Rove who embarassingly performed a minstral show. There will be no accounting for those of the Bush/Cheney administration; they will just fade away as they have since the primaries ended. And it is all the fault of each citizen. We abdicated from our country.
