interesting how a big government guy has so little faith in certain parts of it.

It's simple....IRAN is one of the most democratic Islamic nations at this point in time! DUH!....the hatred from the past is certainly going to make you say otherwise...but it is true. oh....and the pressure on W is going to MOUNT and MOUNT: themoscowtimes.com "The Saudi Binladin Group -- owned by the family of a certain rogue financier currently being sought for questioning (or quartering, as the case may be) in Afghanistan -- is withdrawing its multi-million dollar investments from the Carlyle Group, the shadowy firm of wheeler-dealers run by former Reagan-Bush operatives -- including that smoothest of operators, George Herbert Daddy Warbucks Bush. Carlyle, a many-headed corporate hydra, is one of America's largest defense contractors; thus every bomb that goes ka-boom in Kabul means more ka-ching in Bush family coffers. In the old days, this kind of thing was frowned upon as unseemly war profiteering -- but of course, as Sonny Boy never ceases to remind us, this is "a different kind of war." The kind of war, for example, where a putative president nobly demands "great sacrifices" from the American people -- such as the lives of their sons and daughters -- while he goes pimping for yet another massive tax cut skewed overwhelmingly in favor of his fellow aristos in the nation's wealthiest 1 percent. That's the real "Bush Doctrine" in action: "Let someone else go fight and die; we'll stay home and slice the pie" -- as he and his fellow chicken hawk, Dick "Deferment" Cheney, did during the Vietnam War...."
