I think the wording on that was more my own hope that change could happen. I suppose that thought of mine was a lesson in futility or if i turn it into positive the birth of a new party. I watched a segment on TV where an Iraqi police officer was kicking a statue while he looked at the camera. I wondered what he was thinking as he clearly was doing one heck of an act of kick that bust and smile at that camera. The kick I knew was meant to mean I hate Saddam but the timing of the smile bothered me. A commentator was questioning an authority on WMD he started out with pertinent questions that were not being answered. The commentator started to lose track of his right to question his voice began to change his thoughts were now unison with the gentleman he queried. The result was we understand what we are doing and we know and respect but but but none of his original questions were addressed. People want to be led they must respect the actions of their leaders and in doing so justify actions of self. It would take an alien to get some direct answers about this war. The problem is we are a nation living with a political war that produces destruction, which is totally opposite to the way we live.
