This is all very true, America under Bush is a very frightening thing. Patriotism and jingoism seem to be a thing interchangeable in some US circles right now. To fear the most powerful nation on earth is a horrible and powerless feeling. But America is not going to be the most powerful nation on earth for much longer and if anything China scares me more. Worrying times.
Anyway I admire your courage for saying this.

Everyone must know that when they stand up to be counted, there will be others standing beside them.
That's why we need a People Power Revolution similar to what occurred in the Philippines. Can't necessarily say it's been all great since then, but it got Marcos out of power.

You think Hitler could have been stopped by ranting at him?
Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

You know what Plato said a long long time ago (obviously)? He said "He will in the first place continue to stir up war in the order that people may continue to need him to be a leader."
And one of my favorite Cambodian proverbs sort of fits the situation. Granted, I first read it in the context of Thailand and Vietnam pushing their respective borders into Cambodia, but still. "When elephants fight the ants in the grass die". Interpret as you will. There is an obvious Elephants=Republicans, but there are deeper ones, too.

You who claim to "defend freedom" when you're really just being USED by corporate interest in a war that wasn't even declared by CONGRESS. You who spit on the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA every time you follow an order.
So are you saying that every current and former military member that served in Iraq or Afghanistan is just wrong? I mean, I agree with a lot of your points, but as one of those former military members, I just want to be clear about what you're saying here.

Actually, possibly.
If the Allies had stood up earlier the Germany Millitary may have done the job for us.
Of course may have and the situation was no where near as simple as that I know...

I think it's been established that had the Allies responded more forcefully to Germany's earlier invasions Hitler would have backed down. The problem was that Britain wasn't in a position to fight a war back then and though France had Europes largest standing army they were principly defensive.
