After all this is a capitalist country. Send a guy or gal to war and make a profit. Suck the last health care dollar out of somebody's pocket and then cut off life support. My house is bigger than your house and so's my carbon footprint. And so it goes. Peace War means profits. After all this is a capitalist country. Send a guy or gal to war and make a profit.

When one scratches off the veneer, one finds very little difference between the two parties when it comes to making excuses for more war.

There are times I sense some of us are shin kick'in for the sake of shin kick'in. Everything Pelosi does is not wrong. Nor, imo, is it foolish to have 21 American Representatives there - having only Clinton and Obama there would be futile and an insult to the work at hand.BTW, Australian 114, British 71 The Yukon 11 Japan has asked 50 Japanese NGO representatives to work with the official governmental representativesHere's a bit of info on the general dynamics involved:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121220373 kris

Obama is as about as far from a left wing ideologue as a Democratic President can be. He hasn't accomplished anything because he has not stood for Democratic ideals he has stood for corporations and he has not spent the time framing anything well. I also disagree that the country is bacially conservative that is corporate propaganda. The right has done a very good job of demonizing all things liberal and they have screwed with the truth of things so well, and recieved so much cover from the MSM, that the counry is basically misinformed as to what liberalism really means. If a poll were taken on Democratic values without them being identified as such I think a large number in the country would agree with them. nzanh…I need to respectfully disagree with you.

He is there to 'Afghanistanization' (like Vietnamization) the place. Those are two very different things. It was NOT "the Soviet Union who began the dismantling of organic Afghan society." Afghanistan had a King from 1926 until 1973. His name was Mohammed Zahir Shah. He had very close ties to the Soviet Union and they pretty much left him alone to run his country. In 1973 his cousin Mohammed Daoud overthrew him with the backing of the CIA. Daoud was overthrown by pro-Marxist elements in 1978 led by Babrak Karmal. Karmal feared that a civil war (backed by the CIA) was about to break out so he INVITED the Soviets in to calm the situation. The Soviets were resisted by pro-Islamic forces from every ethnic backround (all backed by the CIA and later Texas Rep. Wilson. They used the "godless communist" fear tactic to rally the troops.) Reading history in the correct way indicates that it was the USA (CIA) which "began the dismantling of organic Afghan society" and not the Soviet Union. Propaganda will rot your mind and cause you to go to war unnecessarily. But the facts will set you free.

And that is he is proving to be weak and ineffective. He is showing his inexperience in a way that is really quite embarrassing. He has clear majorities in both houses of Congress. He had the wind at his back when he came into office and he came in with a lot of good will and he's not been able to make headway in any substantial way on ANYTHING.Despite having elected Barack Obama last year, Americans are basically conservative in their positions. I believe that most Americans thought that Obama would govern from the center. They really didn't think he would prove to be the ultra-liberal leftwing ideologue that he is indeed proving to be. Independents are fleeing Obama in droves.As Bill Clinton knew very well, it's about the economy. If Obama and his economic team had instituted substantial TAX CUTS, personal and corporate, I believe he would have been in a much better position. This is not a Republican idea. John Kennedy proposed these very tax cuts in 1962. His proposed tax cuts was passed 3 months after his death in 1963 and was responsible for reinvigorating the economy then. Tax cuts are a very direct way to put money in peoples pockets and allow business to invest and create jobs. Personally, I would have welcomed having more money in my pockets to be able to loosen my own purse strings. But at this point, I really don't have much disposable income to inject into the economy. I suspect a lot of citizens are in the same position.At the same time Obama has got to get serious about reigning in spending--he's spending us into oblivion. Most Americans can't look to anyone for a bailout when they have mismanaged their finances. It's gotten to the point that the Chinese are preaching to us about fiscal responsibility! He is bankrupting our county.I think our blogmistress can see the writing on the wall. There will be substantial Democratic losses in 2010 and that will be mainly because of Obama and Congress's insistence on seeing Obama's job destroying legislative program through. And I think barring a miracle, Obama himself will suffer the same defeat in 2012 that Carter did in 1980.
