>>>I do not feel safer now than I did six, or 12, or 24 months ago. In fact, I feel far more vulnerable and frightened than I ever have in my 50 years on the planet. It is the United States government I am afraid of. In less than two years the Bush administration has used the attacks of 9/11 to manipulate our fear of terrorism and desire for revenge into a blank check to blatantly pursue imperialist objectives internationally and to begin the rollback of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and most of the advances of the 20th century.
Three years ago, before the bloodless coup d’etat that made George W. Bush president, America was a far-from-perfect nation. Yet there was the possibility, almost gone now, that our country might evolve into a place that lived up to its loftiest democratic rhetoric. Today, I live in an America that makes my stomach hurt and fills me with terror. A nation run by greedy, frightened, violent bullies. It is time to take our country back before it is too late.<<<

>>>"I see US spending on the military rising to 3.5 and 3.9% of the GNP. I see the US waging 'multiple simultaneous large-scale wars'. I see US planes making pre-emptive strikes on any nation that might threaten American superiority. I see the US destroying any ballistic missiles and WMD that might 'allow lesser states to deter US military action by threatening US allies and the American homeland itself.'"
"O Far Seeing One! You could tell all this simply from seeing George W. Bush interviewed on NBC News?"
"No, I was quoting from Rebuilding America's Defenses the blueprint for the present US Government's foreign policy. And, blessed as I am with the gift of foresight, it scares the shit out of me."<<< |
