"However, you overlook the fact that Bush was RE-elected in 2004 DESPITE the ongoing war in Iraq(*). As I once put it, the dirty little secret beneath all this may well be that waging war abroad is the only way for the US not to wage it at home" 48% of us are deeply ashamed of 51% of our fellow Americans. As for the other thing, it's a lie the local "military-industrial complex" fear and warmongers have been selling here for ages. Since WW I, at least. To these people, I say consider. Play a little mental, "Risk" and pretend your a foreign country that wants to invade the US - how would you do this in a successful manner? Our land borders are shared with Canada and Mexico. So, WHERE are the "invaders" going to come from?

Re: What can I say...........torture has become a way of life in Italy just like in the US. When you elect a neocon into office that's what happens. I hope you're right and it's just a Judeocon deviance --not an American one... However, you overlook the fact that Bush was RE-elected in 2004 DESPITE the ongoing war in Iraq(*). As I once put it, the dirty little secret beneath all this may well be that waging war abroad is the only way for the US not to wage it at home.... Good point. I think his election is an aberration due to a peculiar set of circumstances but if it becomes the norm, I will leave the country. I am waiting to see how the 2006 elections go. ted
