first, a major kudos to Kerry for endorsing the Greenwald film ...

war profiteering and imperialism needs to be a major focus for the Democratic Party ... until we have the courage to stand up to the military-industrial complex and American imperialism, the great resources of the United States will remain co-opted by greedy, selfish profiteers ... the sales pitch will be cloaked in patriotism, protecting the country, delivering democracy around the world to oppressed peoples; it's all bullshit ...

until we put "people before profits", the credibility of our government and the credibility of the parties that control it will not be restored ... there's gold in them thar hills if Democrats will take up the challenge ... i'm sorry to say i'm not very optimistic that, as a party, they will ...

it's great to see Kerry standing up on this issue ... i doubt his endorsement will be backed up by the party's conservative right-wing ...
