How many Hungarians, Kurds and, now, Georgians have died

because they listened to GOP bluster and acted on it? Among the less reported but undeniably atrocious acts of the Republican Party is its tendency to indulge itself in planting the idea that the US will ride to the rescue of small nations or groups threatened by totalitarian states. Eisenhower stood by as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was crushed under Russian tanks. Poppy Bush's men encouraged the Kurds to rise against Sadaam and then turned a blind eye to the ensuing carnage. Noe W holds out NATO membership, which was never his to give, and the Georgians believed America would save it from Putin (he of the good soul according to the hapless one in the WH). I would hope that the rest of the world comes to understand what we know only too well. All the RW talk about freedom is mere happy talk to distract the American people from their real agenda which is to protect the plutocrats here at home by constantly touting the existence of an aggressive enemy . And any aggressive enemy will do.
