With all the noise on mainstream media and fake rage from the White House over the slaughter in Burma, still we have only one candidate that has declared himself the peace candidate. Even in this time of the Iraq war where most of the population wants to bring the troops home, we only have ONE peace candidate.
That is a disconnect I cannot puzzle out.
I can understand the Republicans – the reach-around party, wanting to “double Gitmo” and wage continuous war, but the top three Dem candidates are as strong as watered-down tea when it comes to peace.
Is it safe to discuss peace in Burma because it is “near that Viet-Cong place?” Or does BushCo simple want the regime to chill so his corporate junta can get back to business?
As I try to ponder this, I am just going to sit around and Text PEACE to Dennis. God knows my elected officials aren’t taking my calls.
