Democracy within a Police State? |
|
Watching the extreme measures being taken within Iraq to create an election reminds me of the inauguration here. They are both false realities. Voting would not happen at all without a multi-billion dollar army surrounding it. Likewise, in DC, millions were spent on security to create a TV-ready, protest-free zone as an illusion that all was well. Well all isn't well, and I really wonder what the world would be like now if B** hadn't invaded Iraq.
That's my cheerful thought for Saturday night, beat that !
