Hope TPTB will quickly understand the limits to military solutions.

Mission Accomplished

thank God for a strong economy

And nobody seems to care... then you have the government largesse, which never seems to end and, indeed, seems completely indifferent to the fact that the baby boomers are going to expect social security checks and medicaid more than any generation previous to them, because... well, that's just the baby boomers. How THE FUCK ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS SHIT? Obama, Clinton, AND McCain would all increase government spending by at least $200 billion each. McCain wants to reduce 'earmarks', but that only means the money will be spent elsewhere on stupid shit, rather than on shit some specific congressman wants.

I just don't get it... I don't think anyone takes the national debt seriously anymore, nor do the politicians even seem to use balancing the budget and reducing the deficit as a means of getting elected. It's become something ethereal and irrelevant.

However, these films come at a time when many people now agree with the point being made, so they are not as topical as they would have been five years ago, but there are things about the political/military environment over the last 8 years that could be creatively explored in an original manner which have not yet been done, but hopefully they won't be redundant.

Also, Republicans have changed roles in recent decades, and are supporting rather than opposing more government control. The right to bear arms was created out of suspicion and mistrust of government, but now the Right supports a government that strips away all of our freedoms and liberties, and uses disaster and tragedy as an opportunity to do so. What's up with that?

Its the fact that people view things so differently in the country that has led to such polarized opposites, so hopefully things will start middling out in the near future. It won't happen without some effort.

i also pro-choice, anti-abortion- i believe women with unwanted pregnancies seeking abortions should be euthanized (after the baby is born of course).

i am also pro death penalty, but only for misdemeanor parking violations.

Michael J Fox is my nemisis

Unfortunately, when chickens engage in "dual hatting" as Chicken Little and Chicken Hawks, they can actually make the sky fall and sadly, our troops take the brunt of it.

But guess what? Was it worth speaking out against Bush and the NeoCons? Yeah, it's worth it and will continue to be worth it. Does anyone owe you, of all people, an explanation of the obvious as to the 'why' it was worth it? No. As long as you're content to know that your country was lied to enter an unjust war, and it satisfies your bloodlust, that's really all you care about. Any reasoning would be lost on you anyway. The gloating over the bloodshed is something for you, and people like you, to enjoy. Shit, the world will always deliver in that respect. There will never be a time of peace. For those who enjoy a good clusterfuck, it's a good time to be alive, ain't it? As long as it's not your limbs on the line, it's as easy to enjoy as watching Rambo.

Funny thing is, we should've gone into Sudan and Darfur if there was ever a despotic Muslim tyrant that needed deposing, and we would have been right to go in and save the Africans, and that would have made Moe a happy camper too. But no, we went along with the ill-advised PNAC plot, a plot co-authored and suggested by double-agent Ahmed Chalabi, instead and opened up a Pandora's Box EXACTLY as Iran and bin Laden wanted. The real story of the Iraq War will be how Iran infiltrated the NeoCons to set up Iraq for them to dominate.
