I just saw Condoleezza on "Today"
And have you ever noticed that she and her boyfriend, Dubya, are always talking about how the United States is "bringing democracy to Iraq" through the barrel of a gun? And how this will usher in an era of democracies flowering throughout the Middle East, ad nauseam.

So why is it that Dubya, Reichsfuhrer Karl Rove, Dick Cheney (rhymes with weenie) and Ed "Don't Call Me Harold Green" Gillespie are doing their utmost to strangle democracy and transform this country into a one-party national-socialist state?

Should not we, the United States, the arsenal of democracy, lead by example?

1. Ted Rall had a good cartoon on this...
It was about the 'Law of Conservation of Democracy'. Since there is only so much democracy available in the universe, we Americans have to sacrifice so the Iraqis can be free.

I'm sure the cartoon is at his site (link) but you would have to dig through the archives - I don't remember when it came out.

2. Bushies are all for democracy - until someone uses it.
See Spain, Turkey, France, Germany, Florida etc.

7. A "rock"? (There's a pun here someplace)
Seriously, a "rock"? I thought she was under a desk.

4. and at the same time Americans are encouraged
to buy, buy. buy and most the stuff is being made in non-democratic countries. If democracy is so good and the alternative is so BAD then how come we do so much business with China, Vietnam etc?
