Ahhhh....the Soft Power of lowered expectations!
What Dubya & the Neocons have discovered is the total idiocy of their hubris and unilateralism!
These guys actually believed that they could invade Iraq; and be greeted "with flowers and candy" from the citizens of Baghdad!
NOW THEY'RE IN UP TO THEIR NECKS! WAR CRIMES MAY HAVE BEEN COMMITED. AND SOMEBODY MAY HAVE TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
OUR NEW FRIENDS, THE "DEMOCRATIC" SHIA, COULD EVEN CALL FOR "REPARATIONS" ONCE THE DAMAGES ARE TOTALED.
AND OUR OLD EXILE BUDDIES LIKE CHALABI AND "CURVEBALL" HAVE CRAWLED BACK INTO THE WOODWORK!
WHAT THE BUSHIES ARE--IS NOT "COMPASSIONATE AND SOFT"
RATHER BUSTED, DISGUSTED AND CAN'T BE TRUSTED!
Like some homeless guy sleeping on a park bench.....the Neocons have decided to "get friendly" fast!
BECAUSE BEING SHUNNED AND AVOIDED, LIKE SOME KIND OF "GEO-POLITICAL BUM," OR DIPLOMATIC OUTCAST, IS NO FUN FOR BUSH & CO!
And please note, DIPLOMACY AND TALK IS MUCH CHEAPER!
BUT WAR IS VERY EXPENSIVE!
Always a factor, now that Dubya "blew" the Clinton Surpluses on ILL-PLANNED WARS AND TAX CUTS!
But, "Democracy is on the March!" Oh Please.......!
Chaos on Parade is more like it....
Dubya, and his Bubba Republican Supporters, are on a "learning curve" now......but alas, the rest of us are picking up their tuition!
My suggestion?
LESS WAR AND MORE EMPHASIS ON THE REAL DOMESTIC PROBLEMS.
NO. NOT "GAY MARRIAGE!"
RATHER, THINGS LIKE:
RISING POVERTY, MEDICAL INSURANCE COSTS THAT ARE KILLING OFF BUSINESS AND JOB GROWTH, MEDICAID AND MEDICARE----
AND IF THERE IS STILL ANY TIME OR MONEY LEFT.....THEN PERHAPS SOME "TWEAKING" OF SOCIAL SECURITY.
