Power Defines Peoples and Nations

Bush is in China badgering the leadership about more democratic reforms. Compare his pop-off behavior to his spiraling poll numbers based on a criminal high-handed invasion of Iraq. Where is his moral authority for preaching? Our moron was informed of the non-binding Senate amendment for more disclosure and progress reports of the Iraqi situation from the executive branch. Bush commented, " The only reason we won't succeed [ in Iraq] would be if we lost our nerve." Nerve? The senate bill is not about nerve or machismo. It is about learning. If it is not working you stop.

Meanwhile back in the occupied territories of the previously historic Palestine, Sec. Rice actually brokered a deal. She "won" from the Israeli slum landlords the right for the Palestinians to actually leave Gaza and go into Egypt through the Rafah crossing. Wasn't there a Warsaw Ghetto that the Nazis effectively ran as a prison?Didn't America fight WW II to stop situations like that?

Want to know what a person or country is really made of? Give them power. America should not be defined by lobbyist-bought representatives. Any important decisions concerning war and peace should be by NATIONAL REFERENDUM. The lobbyists have won the old way of governing.
