In this age, we are developing separate histories, potent and unparalleled, because we have the repositories for them. populist Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:27:43 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/are_we_winning_in_iraq_a_dark_argument Many who prepared the ideological pathways for the invasion have since jumped ship, but to a very sturdy lifeboat. Their refuge lies in the litany of safe exceptions to policy now cited - poor planning & decisions, underestimation of "insurgency" (not resistance), and, of course, the difficulties of "exporting democracy". populist Thu, 09 Nov 2006 18:08:35 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_price_of_imperial_arrogance_part_v Back in the 1980s, Jim Baker and the president's father had no qualms about the ugly Contra war the Reagan administration they served in waged against the people of Nicaragua and the ruling Sandinistas. populist Thu, 07 Dec 2006 21:20:05 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/death_to_the_tyrant Iraq has turned into a killing field as bad as those in Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Much of the killing and torture is due to warring factions, but all too frequently, the triggermen are occupation forces. populist Sun, 12 Nov 2006 23:44:46 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/iraq_is_vietnam_and_you_d_better_believe_it Nothing destroys troop morale faster than being in a war you know is pointless. As the situation continues to deteriorate in Iraq, anti-American feelings will increase. Cursed for staying, we will now be cursed for leaving. Iraq will become an ever more dangerous place for any American to be. populist Wed, 20 Dec 2006 04:17:08 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/its_not_just_bush_were_accountable_too Blaming everything on a handful of people at the top, no matter how destructive and abusive they've been, misses a critical point. Systems tend to self-perpetuate. Remove one player and the next comes in to ensure business as usual. populist Sat, 16 Dec 2006 08:36:03 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/kissing_cousins_staged_elections Since the Republicans and the Democrats obviously can't or are unwilling to do their jobs, what shall we do when it is clear that Bush considers himself above the law as Commander-in-Chief and the maybe soon Speaker of the House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi won't do her job to investigate the corruption of the current GOP Congress? populist Sat, 04 Nov 2006 08:52:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/let_s_have_a_victory_party_for_bush One day of war is too long; almost four years of war, and over one-half million people dead, is too damn long! Let's close 2006 the right way by giving George W. Bush his victory party, and drafting a plan to bring all American troops home; now, right away! populist Thu, 28 Dec 2006 21:21:53 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_price_of_imperial_arrogance_part_iii The US public has also paid an enormous price for the Bush administration's agenda and shows it in its anger over the hopeless war without end in Iraq, the endemic cesspool of Washington corruption and a general feeling of unease and mistrust with the political class in the nation's Capitol. populist Wed, 06 Dec 2006 05:23:09 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/poisoning_us_troops_anthrax_lies_and_vaccines What a shameful irony that hundreds of thousands of US troops told they're fighting for freedom could soon face court martial for refusing to take a vaccine which has led to disabilities, chronic illnesses and even death in others. populist Thu, 19 Oct 2006 04:16:57 GMT
