This perfect storm will finally destroy the neocon project

Americans are sick of the unrepentant arrogance of this elite. But the realisation has come at a very heavy cost

Now and again people have found themselves in places where the course of history was dramatically changed: Paris in 1789, Petrograd in 1917, Berlin in 1989. Sometimes the feeling of momentous change is illusory. When Tony Blair won his first election 10 years ago, perfectly sane people proclaimed that "these are revolutionary times". As most of us realised long before his ignominious departure, that was just what they weren't.

And yet to visit the US at present, as I have done, is to experience an overwhelming sensation of drastic impending change. It's not merely that President Bush, to whom Blair so disastrously tethered himself, is "in office but not in power". Most Americans can't wait for him to go, Congress is beyond his control, and the Senate majority leader, Senator Harry Reid, has told him that the war in Iraq is lost - for which statement of the obvious Reid was accused of "defeatism" by the vice-president, Dick Cheney.

1. i saw 'Amazing Grace' last night.. the parallels to today were glaring..the arrogance and suffering

due the aggrandizing of a a privileged psychopathic few.. and the caricature's of Carl Rove and deLay and the Insane King George.. i cried all the way Thur it.. as i do watching he news on TV,

i have PT SD from childhood torture in an Extremist fundamentalist christian church sexual abuse.. and also from my Peace Corps days in an Islamic republic in West Africa '73 in drought relief. i can not help but see our own country in such a state of massive starvation, regional population relocation due to climate change, the suffering of needless disease, total collapse of infrastructure and total tyrannical control by a few Elite Psychopaths.

and there is still wide spread slavery for which there is NO champion against it, todays slavery is due to Islamic factions, there are open slave markets in Dakar Senegal, the UAE area is the hub of distribution and and the western sex trade largely Russian, but Mexico is beginning to take a position of shame in the sex trade now..

we need to return to the American values of the Pre-Reagan days.. and throw the Reaganite neocon Thugs out.. The Republican party should never be allowed to govern again.. they are not qualified, they believe only in the destruction of government.. so how can they ever govern, they support only the most destructive anarchy and support of Fascist theocratic oligarchic cleptocracy:rant:
