I didn't think Gore would run
But now that I am certain he won't it is really depressing , I guess deep down i had hope .

I am not thrilled with any of the hopefuls and once there is a pick then the blood bath will really begin .

I hear liberal radio which is all I listen to where hosts even Hartmann do not leave doubt aside when it comes to there being a real possibility of a Dem not winning in 2008 .

I also hear the same tale of bush /cheney attacking Iran before and if they do leave office , this is another concern of mine . This would cancel the elections and we would be in the same place as Pakistan is now .

Is this Pakistan deal just dry run and a test ground for the US criminals ?

I honesty don't know what to think anymore , my wife is at the point where she feels we will attack Iran and bush/cheney will not leave .

1. The thought has crossed my mind more the once,
The only thing that gives me hope that your scenario doesn't pan out, is the fact that that the majority of smart people don't believe it's going to happen. Me i'm not so sure, besides their is a small amount of smart people that believe it will.

Peace!

2.  People keep changing their minds
Randi was certain about an attack on Iran not that long ago , then she changes direction now who knows , it's possible .

I really hope this will not be the case , but then , everytime I hope the worst will not happen it does like attacking iraq or all the Dem bills getting a veto and their still funding this occupation . Now this is again the issue and I have to wonder , we all do , if they will cave once again .

3. I figure all the smart people,
are trying to figure out what a mad man is going to do and that can't be easy! The right way to handle this imho "and i'm not one of the smart people" Is with impeachment. I know i sound like a broken record, but that move alone would put a stop to allot of things. If only the congress would do it, we could all rest a little easier.

Peace!

4. Keep watching the fiasco in Pakistan play out.
Already I'm seeing signs that this won't work in America.... Musharraf donning a civilian suit after B*sh asks him..... Bhutto getting plenty of press coverage even after her 'house arrest'... the violence of the police towards peaceful lawyers demonstrating covered in nearly every EU press outlet.... The US sending, of all people, Negroponte to the area... These are signs that this 'dry run' didn't work out as intended.
