Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants Sy Hersh’s assertion about the Bush WH operating black assassination squads,accountable to no one,a practice if proven would represent a new level of barbarism.
IMO,this shows the two strands of thought in American public life.The American people,by and large,devoted to their economic concerns and the well being of their children,stay away from imperial delusions.In fact,they have powerful motivations to avoid foreign wars because it is their children that fight and die.
The other strand is represented by an elite that seeks hegemony worldwide and wants to achieve this by state-of-the art military force.One method Bush and Cheney hve devised is to nullify American Democracy before and after demonstration elections so that their hegemonic dreams can proceed regardless of the expressed wishes of the American people.If this situation becomes a permanent fixture of the American political landscape,say goodbye to that this country stands for.
