Bush's Lone Victory
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
George Orwell warned us, but what American would have expected that in the opening years of the 21st century the United States would become a country in which lies and deception by the President and Vice President were the basis for a foreign policy of war and aggression, and in which indefinite detention without charges, torture, and spying on citizens without warrants have displaced the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution?
If anyone had predicted that the election of George W. Bush to the presidency would result in an American police state and illegal wars of aggression, he would have been dismissed as a lunatic.Once we cut down civil liberty so that police may better pursue criminals and terrorists, where do we stand when government turns on us?
It appears, more and more, that WE are the Terrorists!

Carol,
It is amazing how similar we think. It is frightening how willing the republican lemmings are wiling to follow the presidente down every nasty path, turning our beloved country into something that many of us don't even recognize anymore.
Very sad,
Jeff
We are only lambs being led to the slaughter my friend. The apatehtic masses will have it no other way!
El Presidente has done a fine job of brainwashing I fear!
