Harry Reid

At some point, even the most die-hard Confederate had to acknowledge that the Civil War was lost. Ditto for the German citizen (take your pick: 1918 or 1945) or the Russian citizen looking at their debacle in Afghanistan (which, by the way, in case you don't know, was brought about thru Jimmy Carter's plan to use CIA assets to lure the Russians into a disasterous, unwinnable occupation, where we armed the native Afghan resistance and brought in and trained radical Islamic troops in insurgency tactics, under our former buddy, UBL).

But I digress. Harry Reid says in public that Bush's war is lost. Any observer of world history and imperial over-reach knows that this is true. But the media blames Harry, and Bush mutters about 'pulling the rug' out from under the soldiers.

Let's face facts, folks. US foreign policy since the end of WWII has led to death, corrupt and repressive governments, shameless profiteering, and environment disaster. We are complicit in War Crimes, and, still, so many of us are unwilling to trouble our beautiful minds with the reality of what our love of the Good Life has meant to the rest of the world. If you have doubts, read this book, which I finished last night.

Instead, we fervently pray that Sanjaya will have a nice career, in whatever he chooses to do next.

We need massive buckets of cold water poured over our heads, and Harry contributed one yesterday. Too little. Too late.

The Gonzales hearings reveal an obvious long-range plan, to fix the system to insure Republican electoral victories forever - a systematic corruption of what used to be called 'Justice', in order to continually suck power and money into an already-bloated Monster.

Unfortunately, history seems to imply that, when things get corrupted to this point, heads eventually roll - the only question remaining is whose heads. Stay tuned.
