Letters to the Editor

This Congress is a full partner in Bush's failures.
Juan, they weren't winging it when Israel bombed the hell out of Lebanon. We stood ringside while one 'fledgling Democracy' brutalized another.
That was planned and deliberate, and the Congressional silence screamed out the realities of what was really going on -a willful and intentional negligence of duty -not for the good of the U.S. as a whole, but for more personal gains.
This Congress was and is run by pro-war wolves in sheep's clothing, who've been waiting quietly for the first tastes of blood in the air -and Bush gave it to them. Lantos and Hoyer in the House are now backed teamed up with pro-war hard liners like Carper, Pryor, Lieberman and Salazar in the Senate.
And unfortunately they're so filled with paranoia, greed and outright racism they refuse to listen to, and in fact are punishing everyone and anyone not in line with them.
Every month that goes by a new truth surfaces somewhere revealing what went on behind the scenes of U.S. actions, whether here or abroad. And I'm ashamed to say it's turning out that we weren't and aren't the heroes and good guys everyone thought we were.
We are ruthless arrogant bastards,pumped up on the drugs of power greed and lust who play one side games against others for quick temporary gains, not worrying about future retaliations..
Bush has just exposed who our leaders really are.
While some urge Gore to enter the race to save the world, I beg Gore to enter this race to stop our own Congress.
