Reply #5: What I just sent my congress woman

Dear Congresswoman,

Many historians over the years have asked why there has never been a Coup in the United States. One answer, given by mamy is that the military has contact with the civilians it serves.

Well read this from Sidney Blumenthal, which apeared in the Guardian. Oh and by the way, what Blumenthal details is exactly the recipee for an old fashioned Military Coup in Latin America. Yes this is the reason to start righiting the ship of state, by impeaching Rumsfeld.

And we may actually see a Coup if... Bush is reelected. I can tell you, there is disgust in the military, and it is deep. We may even see it before that, if Congress does not do its job. The effects of a coup for American Democracy will be long and deep, and it will be a self inflicted wound, even deeper than the wound we have inflicted to ourselves over Abu Ghraib.
