If Doober attacks another country without valid reason, we stop trade.
I suggest that if Doober & co attack or invade another country with no valid justification (like they did in Iraq)*, we alert the socioeconomic power hierarchy they are fronting for that they depend on us, we the people, as units of economic exchange - simply put, we bring the (consumer) economy to a screeching halt - no purchases beyond life necessities, work slowdowns or stoppages, general strikes, etc. In Europe they can get 100K people onto the street within 48 hours to protest economic policy changes; we should be able to do the same when the clamfuckers are proposing to go beyond $4billion and 60 Americans a month in their efforts to perpetuate the petroleum consumer economy which serves them. Dooboids and PNAC, you're on notice: you're answerable to us, the people. Your policies suck, and we suspect you suck and have no intention of representing us, and you've informed us what you really care about. Bad move.

*Note definitional specifics: attacking Afghanistan had a valid justification, since a bunch of goat-fucking fundamentalist princelings gave safe harbor to psychotics who killed 3000+ Americans. There was no equivalent related to Iraq. That's a useful standard of measurement for us to use.

2. Before he's through...
we may have to stop trade with a lot of people, then. Which would, indeed, be fine with me.

I'm just wondering how much shit Knucklehead Smiff is planning to pull in the three years before his term expires. :scared:

3. we first stop trade amongst ourselves
Dooboid dorks' strongest constituency is American business. He and his loser lackeys fuck around with our country's future for their own self interest, we fuck his constituency. It's about the money; we stop it being made.

The Presidency, not the Residency, is answerable to the People. By, Of, For, no other way.
