let's face it, bush, and any humane human being, may like to help "liberate" the palestinians but he and the other policy makers are afraid of losing political support. the israeli interests simply spend more lobbying money.

our "democratic" government often doesn't do what is right but does what the side with the most money wants.

"one dollar, one vote."

"We have plenty of moral authority to take on Iraq, and I can't name one country that the US has liberated that hated us after doing it." Liberate? That is the point the rest of the world is making. We are not going to liberate Iraq. We are going to invade Iraq, assassinate its Head of State, and then occupy the country for the foreseeable future while shipping their natural resources to ourselves to run our SUVs -- the whole world sees it that way. We have zero moral authority at this point. And without moral authority we will pay a terrible price for this conquest.
