Good article and thanks for posting it.
Im sorry this country needs to be taken seriously. Just like W Churchill in WWII against the Germans. We are going to see some serious problems with Iran in the next few months because they know we will never use nuclear weapons again and they are using that to cause problems in Iraq.
So do you think that a left wing political party is going to take care of business? No they are not. They are a far cry from FDR and Truman who were true democrats. They worry about what Moveon.org will blog about them.
The world is a stage and we are merely players in it.
Or to paraphrase Jay Leno: All politics is ... is theater with ugly people.
