"Gen. Franks Doubts Constitution Will Survive WMD Attack."
In an interview with Cigar Aficionado magazine, the general, now
living in Tampa, argues that in the event of a WMD hit on the U.S., our form of government
would go out the window. "


If Bush is President, Franks could be right, but Franks' outlook also sums up why
generals, like Franks and Wesley Clark, should never be elected President. Generals
become famous through wars: killing and injuring other people. Apart from
the main stream press, like the LA and NYTimes and those men who were conditioned
to admired men who were warriors, I wonder if that many women admire Franks and
Clark.

The people who really deserve our respect are the real soldiers who fight the wars,
and they are in dangerous places like Iraq and Afghanistan. They aren't hiding out
at the Pentagon or in Little Rock.
