all neocon slots on TV should go to Kucinich, et al

[Cocoa]

Watching Richard Perle on ABC today, I was thinking why is he still asked to appear on these shows? The neocons have been thoroughly discredited. They had their say, big time, for years, and they were proven to be embarrassingly wrong.

Meanwhile, George Stephanopoulos says "no-one" is advocating for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, except maybe for Robert Byrd. This is simply not true. The reality is that whenever ABC was obliged to speak to Dennis Kucinich, they asked him why doesn't he just go away. And then when he talked back to their anchor person, they quit covering his campaign altogether.

I don't know if pulling the troops out is right or not, I suspect it is right, but it doesn't matter, that voice should be part of the discussion.

1. They are afraid of Kucinich

He has a tendency to speak the truth.

To them, the truth is the rhetorical equivalent of "cooties."

3. I love it

that so many pols and pundits are now recommending what DK has said all along--hand over oversight of Iraq from the US to the UN. Even people on DU won't admit that Dennis was the first one to publicly say this, or that that they denigrated him for it as being "unrealistic," but what matters is that the idea is out there and gathering momentum.

I never supported the war, but after the "victory," the US should have been sending over tens of thousands of Peace Corps workers, not soldiers. The Peace Corps knows how to train people to live in other countries as guests, not occupiers. This is a perfect example of how having Department of Peace could have spared everyone a great deal of suffering.
