As a disclaimer, I'll say that I think it is wonderful that Saddam Hussein is in our custody. I say this for various reasons but most notably, the war may be over or the beginning of the end is in sight. Afterall, Bush and Rumsfeld and the other warmongers told us that Saddam was behind the insurrection. If this is true, then we have the guerilla leader and the warring insurgents in the field will be ineffectual at causing violence now. So we as Americans should rejoice the news we heard yesterday, that Saddam was captured. Now we can get his WMD's so we Americans can be safe again. Rejoice!
That being said, I think the fact that W's approval ratings shot up 10% in one day shows exactly how stupid Americans are. Either (A) they can't answer a poll question with authority, or (B) they actually think George W. Bush rooted around in the earth and dug Saddam up. No, niether is the case. Poll questions are invalid if anything and George W. doesn't do anything that would require physical exertion.
I don't understand it. Saddam being captured does not mean that George Bush is a good president. Actually, he's a rather bad president for waging a preemptive war against a nation that was not a threat! As long as we controlled 70% of the airspace of Iraq (as we did before March of 03) Saddam wasn't going to lift a finger to attack either the U.S. or Kuwait or Israel!
Saddam's capture does not mean that George W. Bush will not wage war against other nations or it does absolutely nothing to change the fact that 92% of my income goes to insurance premiums! This is an outrage.
Neocons don't get it but this is the deal:
America is broken. We live in a country that has problems as great as our greatness. Yet we do nothing to solve our problems. We attack and wage war thinking that will solve our problems but that really won't help. It just makes others angry at us and in a way, since we aren't focusing on our internal problems, war serves as a hindrance to us focusing on the real issues that plague our nation.
So ask yourself, do you want a broken America or do you want a country in which 92% of your income doesn't go to insurance companies! Are you with me? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?
Germans?
Forget he's rolling....!
