the tyrants in wash dc are using the external enemy of terrorism to usurp our liberties, expand the size and scope of government, and seize more power. the american people are fools for letting them get away with it. What tyrants and what are they doing to "usurp our liberties"? Be specific. we didn't like milosevic so we bombed a couple thousand innocent people into submission to force his upheaval. Wrong. We, not to mention NATO and the UN, didn't like his effort to ethnically cleanse Kosovo, so we forced him to stop. The people of Serbia toppled him. >> The people see their own suffering (economic or political) and can only blame the tyrant. Eventually, the tyrant falls. << you mean like castro ;-) An obvious exception, but in the case of the tyranny of Soviet communism, this approach worked. so you are against economic sanctions? Economic sanctions should not prevent food and medical assistance. Besides, we kept selling wheat and Pepsi to the Russians even while Reagan was keeping up the political pressure. Iran trades with the world, but that hasn't prevented the current struggle for political and social freedom. Bonus question: What President suspended habeas corpus during a war? A: George Washington B: Abraham Lincoln C: George W. Bush D: Richard Nixon
