Bush -isms

Another Washington Post Article Reports:
Bush also repeated his assertion that the advance of democracy will bring to power in the Middle East countries that oppose terrorism, although free elections in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories have given power to Hezbollah and Hamas, both deemed by the United States to be terrorist entities.

Dear Mr. President:
I cannot help but ask, if FREE ELECTIONS gave power to these groups, wouldn't that mean that this is what the PEOPLE want? Isn't that democracy? Maybe we should allow the will of the people of those nations to make their own decisions, even if you don't agree.
Just a humble American opinion.
Sincerely,

Democrats Target Rumsfeld

As happy as I am that the Democrats, among others are calling for the resignation of Rumsfeld, todays article in the Washington Post, made me wonder. Is it possible that history could repeat itself, and we could face the possibility of another civil war? Only this time in place of North v South, it would be Democrats v Republicans. Let's hope not, and I know it might sound silly to even consider it, but looking at the similarities of the politicians in 1860 and the current day, it raises room for question and wonder.

I read this article this morning, and although I do agree that Rumsfeld should be outed asap, the back and forth between Dem's and Republicans reminded me of my 10 and 11 year old sons. They appear to be children, with the sole focus of winning their argument, not truly effecting change. Hence, when the goal of the fight is to win in place of compromise or real change, is it unreasonable to assume that Civil War is not a possibility?

Our leaders need to focus on working together to obtain a solution, and bring and end to the conflict between the parties, or unfortunately we are all screwed.

Iraq Death and Injured Toll

"We are approaching 2,700 dead Americans, 20,000 wounded, many of them missing eyes, missing limbs, facing paralysis," said Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.). "They want to debate that; we're happy to debate that."

Let's not just debate Senator Reid, let's get them out of there!
