1. My dear Indi Guy...

Ah, you're probably right...

I hate to admit it, though.

3. Yes, it's a CORPORATE ENABLING Duopoly at that.

That includes warmongering by both parties for the benefit of the corporations comprising the Military Industrial Complex.

The coming darkness is the eclipse of American political freedom and the unchecked reign of a venal, arrogant, and ignorant ruling class. Onerous as its depredations at home are likely to be, even more ominous is its immoral, illegal, and criminal policy of preemptive war abroad. There is no end to the war on terrorism, since a terrorist is increasingly defined as anyone who opposes the duopoly at home or abroad.

It has always been madness to try to remold the world in one's image, as we see most recently in the war in Iraq, but it is a vastly greater madness in a nuclear age. The lesson of 9/11 was that resentments born of decades if not centuries of perceived wrongs will find their target if those wrongs are not addressed.
