Reply #80: i'll tell you exaclty why.

it's because the democrats (for the most part) are behind the annexation of iraq to control the oil and to claim strategic geopolitical space.

u.s. imperialist foreign policy is bipartisan. the dems' stock in trade is to LOOK like they oppose the repubs, but support the fundamental policy behind the politics.

sure, let's stick to the tasks at hand, we have to build democracy in iraq, now that we have illegally conquered it (maybe), through lies and deceptions and false justifications (and murder) (does anyone else realize it is IMPOSSIBLE to build real democracy under the current conditions?). and by all means, let's NOT look at 9/11, the grand justification for all this. that's old stuff. where do we go from here, now that we know osama (read: sadaam) is responsible for all evil in the world. and that election aberration back in 2000--old stuff, not relevant, move on.

we will never, ever get to the nation we want if we keep allowing the denial of reality to hold sway. and the first step out of denial is to say: fuck you, clinton!
