1. "I'm your war president". Bush knows that's the only card he has left to
to play.

7. A very Negative Card....supposed to be War at Last Resort
AKA..... A Defensive War

This dude is in love with himself...he thinks by acting the War Guy..he will be viewed as a tough, a rugged person. This Facade is so telling during the photo ops.

2. What political party does...
especially in america... but it is the same with every culture. The human race is a warring culture. It just so happens we live in a time when it is our own culture perpetrating it on the mainstage of the new world view. Cultures have been warring ever since our big brains told us to. It really is just survival of the fittest - but on much more abstract terms. Loss of life means nothing to those in the higher echolen of power.

People
Embracing
All
Citizens
Everywhere

8. War is but a tool to use: either to gain $/assests... or to defend/assist.
Level One ...survival of the fittest

Level Two ...Survival of the Wisest.

12. Yes, in a Tribal way..you give a good point...but not all tribes ended
up fighting...many tribes bartered/traded with other tribes...sometimes hundreds of miles away...even thousands of miles...as in the Silk Road....and for hundreds of years at a stretch.

In our supposed Level 2 World, most of us THINK for our children rather than fight for them...

we invest for them, build for them, educate them....inspire them

At this point Peace is but a dream, we sing and pray every year for Peace at certain Holidays, we mention it occassionaly during the rest of the year, we write about it, etc

But, where is it?

We now have a WAR PRESIDENT. History shows this is the wrong path...especially in todays world. Its not difficult to think of a world without war...richer, safer, more Comfortable/Secure/Healthier/etc. Less homeless, poverty, etc

Under this War Prez...look at the discord, the conflicts, the growing poverty, Homelessness, the DEBT Load, etc

We are Lame in our thinking if we allow War to be the means to Peace.

5. ah, Peace . . . what a quaint notion . . .
some silly epithet from the era of flower power and free love . . .

hmmm (scratching head) . . . come to think of it peace, flowers, and love aren't all that quaint . . . they are, in fact, essential to the survival of the planet . . .

on second thought . . . why the hell aren't ANY of our "leaders" talking about peace -- passionately, honestly, and frequently? . . .
