What did Bush Cartel defend?

When G.W. Bush stole the 2000 election our economy was stable and growing. The U.S. Government was engaged in the War on Drugs without sustained international military occupations. The World Trade Towers still existed.

Eight years later,

our financial banking system has collapsed. Major U.S. based global corporations are failing to bankruptcy. Unemployment rises. Home values decline. Inflation looms over us all.

We wage major military wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and have created civil unrest in Pakistan. Israel began 2009 with an invasion into Palestine.

Europe is purchasing U.S. corporations that have been the foundation of our economy for many decades.

Our privacy rights have disappeared.

Our health care costs are higher than the rest of the world.

Our food is losing quality and gaining cost.

Our environment is being devastated by our industry and lifestyle.

What was successfully protected and defended?

Same Old Shit

I am glad Mr. Obama beat John McCain and became president.

Ralph Nader would have been even better.

A traditional, indigenous Dine' (Navajo) grandmother/freedom fighter like Pauline Whitesinger would have been best, in my opinion.

I hope to live to bear witness to a State of the Union address that is translated into English from an indigenous tongue.

That said,

the U.S.A. is still ensnared in the seesaw battle of Republicans and Democrats.

At this point both sides are warmongers.

The primary difference right now is that when Republicans wage war it benefits the U.S. economy, when the Democrats do the same our economy weakens.

In my 35 years of life there have been 4 wars, one started by Dwight Eisenhower and the other three by George W and H.W. Bush.

All three of those men are Republicans.

Democrats are not capable of maintaining peace.

Something has to change.

Problems with winning Wars.

One problem with winning a war is that the victor is necessarily rejecting some perspectives of the defeated people. This inevitably creates limits on the future trajectory of everyone, including the winners.
