    The Decline and Fall of the American Empire

    I wish I could have stated the issue as eloquently as this article. Iran's president is taunting Bush and his quacks. Our military is paper thin, and we would have nobody at our back if we go in to Iran. We're still dealing with insurgents in Iraq, and we want to hop on over and begin an entirely new campaign?

    The propaganda in hyping Iran as the next bad guy is exactly the same as it was for Iraq, except that the hype machine has improved. I like the idea of a coup. Think about it, all of our military is engaged--we have no national guard. Let's storm the White House.

    Ssshh. Big Brother's listening to my key strokes.
