Re: The devastation from Hurricane Katrina only underscores the disastrous consequences... ...a nuclear strike on major US cities would entail. War-happy yankees should take it as a portent of the US's disarray and vulnerability in the event of nuclear warfare. Again, I told you so: Message 21403972 Gus

> the people are starving and swimming in sh1t -- but they needn't worry, help is on the way -- Democrats do "care" antiwar.com >>....most antiwar liberals feel compelled to support the Democrats as long as they cling the progressive veneer and yell for a couple days before capitulating to Republican court appointments. Only time will tell how long they can keep up this charade before serious consequences can occur in the midterm elections. All signs point to a dismal descent of events between then and now. Abroad, it has been predicted that at this time next year it will be impossible for the military to maintain the current number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The economic fallout from Katrina could presently spurn an even worse economic downturn. With oil prices on the rise and real estate bubble close to bursting, the possibility of stagflation seems right around the corner. It should be evident that there is a bipartisan consensus to ignore how far the two parties have gotten from their respective bases. And to what end? War. For the past four years the Bush administration has played to the fears of Americans. They rely on the paranoid belief that only by slaughtering tens of thousands of people abroad can we prevent terrorist attacks at home. Oddly enough, the civilian populations of the two cities struck on 9/11 are overwhelmingly antiwar. Bush found little support in either. So in order to continue the culture of fear, the pundits must smear every dissenter "treasonous," a label with which Bill O'Reilly slandered Cindy Sheehan. But Sheehan has broken the ice. With luck she is just the beginning of a movement that will expose the bipartisan agreement in Washington for the covenant of the death that it is.<<
