Thanks Dwight,
Like you, I see Chamberlain as letting a nation down. Today, it is the peace movement, however disorganized, that has decided that we cannot let the greatest menace on the planet build his military might into an unstoppable and immoral juggernaut destroying democracy and murdering innocents in its quest for supreme dominance of the planet.
I speak, of course, in opposition to the man who today most emulates the excesses of the Third Reich and Nazi Germany. That man is George W. Bush. Not, as you probably meant to infer, Saddam Hussein, who is a debilitated shell of his former self in a broken land with a faltering economy.
How the American public can be so confused as to who the real menace to their beloved way of life happens to be is beyond me. Bush means to create a vile oligarchy in this great nation, destroying all the democratic values we cherish. Including social justice, educational opportunities for all, compassion for our elders, and basic fairness.
In its stead, Bush proposed endless wars, vast military campaigns across the globe, endless grief and misery for the masses as his cronies collect ever growing fortunes at the expense of the less greedy, the less grasping and the less criminal. All one needs do is look to Ken Lay as the kind of monster that Bush's regime would idolize to realize how foul a course of history the Boy King intends to set us on. As a great and virtuous nation, we must resist.
