<<<Senator Kerry represents the Republican wing of the Democratic Party, and the Democratic wing of the War Party. He wants to increase troop levels in the Occupied Territories (Afghanistan and Iraq), and fight till victory. His call for foreign troops to replace ours, is wishful thinking. Bush has already gone, hat in hand, begging everyone for troops, and got no takers.>>> The Ralph Naders in this world are not going to do us any good. To me, they are saying "it's my way or the highway" or "if we can't do it my way - all the way - then I say to hell with it". I think the founding fathers (of the US) had it right all along. They could have set it up so the President was a dictator. They could have set it up so the President could dictate things the way it should be. But, they knew better. A democracy was never going to be perfect. Human nature being what it is, perfection is not in the cards - not yet. Democracy is a process. You have to work at it to make it better - in incremental small steps. You have to take what you can get - at the same time the founding fathers put in a lot of checks and balances - to make it as difficult as possible to corrupt the whole system. You have to have faith that things will ultimately work out - but the bad news is that it is not going to happen within our lifetime or even within the lifetime of our grandchildren - where things will be perfect. I still think our system is the best system in existence - even though at the moment things do not look that terrific. The way the real world works is you move a few steps forward, and stuff happens, where you fall back a few yards - but inevitably things get better - but slowly.
