As he see it, people have come to tolerate reprehensible social phenomena -- such as the racist "death to the Arabs" chants that can be heard in soccer stadiums."<BR/><BR/>What else is there to say?<BR/><BR/>Maybe this?<BR/><BR/> "In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;<BR/><BR/> And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;<BR/><BR/> And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;<BR/><BR/> And then . . . they came for me . . .

Speculating on what another might have done immediately after 911 isn't of much value, but based on history I expect the Afghanistan response to have been much the same. It's what they did afterward that made his Presidency so bad.<BR/><BR/>Beginning with the next move, the rest has become another black period in the annals of human history. John McCain straightened all that out recently when he spoke on renewable energy and America's dependence on foreign oil. Remember?<BR/><BR/>But Dubya and the Lethbridge Oilkings didn't have the vision to understand the shit storm.<BR/><BR/>They were just following orders. <BR/><BR/>In my way of thinking, the Dubya's of the world don't lead, they are merely the faces of the factions. Which ties in with what Herb said about Presidential power and hard power.Comrade Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699361419958081444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322921171545547266.post-78380601934559089892009-01-24T13:12:00.000-04:002009-01-24T13:12:00.000-04:00Comrade, from your link."President Barack Obama "d...Comrade, from your link.<BR/><BR/>"President Barack Obama "declared an end" to his predecessor's "war on terror" and began to heal the US reputation abroad"<BR/><BR/>We are witnessing a defining moment in American history that has the potential to become the worlds.<BR/><BR/>Wether you agree or not after 9/11 there was the right President at the right time, sending a clear message to the world. The new message is we`re ready to heal old wounds from a President that has printed more hope currency than any other.<BR/><BR/>First you stand, then offer your hand, inherent human nature.<BR/><BR/>The variables dating back to 2001 leading to this set of circumstances would make any prediction of any outcome extremely remote and certainly not for this outcome. <BR/><BR/>After 7 years of `where are we going` we arrive at the best possible outcome even though the variables made prediction impossible for any of us, let alone plan.
