Innocent people have always died in war. Atomic bombs timed to schoolchildren walking down the street...WWII bombings over Germany. We can go back to prehistory. Not an example of modern presidency. Just a fact of human nature. Nothing new under the sun, here. Enlighten us with something everybody already knows. Wrong. Innocent people have always died in war.

Belsen was a gun free zone until some murderers arrived there. A certified Imperialist is now in charge; his predecessors have laid the groundwork for an infinite supply of campaign contributions (for both parties). Thousands of American business people will make millions off of our wars. When the profits slow they can instigate another attack to drum up more business. The torture and murder proves the authenticity of the threats - the bigger the lie the harder it is to believe the truth. Exploiting cheap labor still occurs. I would hope sugar cane was the last market for US entrepreneurs, but I doubt it. Tea, tobacco, bananas, and Polish iron ore (near Auschwitz). The shrub would know, you think so (oil) ? Fearmonger (and profiteer) Glenn Beck thinks it's all connected. With Rush we know, but with Glenn it takes a few shows to learn to ignore him. I like Rush; when he's free to say the things he says then so am I. They protect free speech (the kind that needs protection.) Not long ago Rush said the President should suspend habeus corpus - good for him. He helps protect people like Jim Bovard, Ron Paul and Jacob Hornberger (the kind we really want protected.)

I always found it interesting that when people over there are defending their lands against invaders, (and that what most Iraqis feel right now about the presence of American troops) are labeled either insurgents or terrorist, but yet, 200 or so years ago, the colonists were protecting their property from invaders and they were called patriots. Slippery slope here for sure. As far as Hagee, I heard the interview live, and my thoughts were that he should be the poster boy for Atheists. Jim, as usual right on.

I'm sure that prominent historians will give Bush his due for years to come. I strongly suspect, however, that their scholarly appraisals will generally stop far short of deification.
