That was a great post, and I'm passing it on to a couple of other people. As to the Nader/Gore/Bush stuff, I realize that Gore and the Dems are not remarkably different than Shrub and the Repubs. But I do feel that we would not be ramming cruise missiles down innocent throats had it not been for GWB, his pack of aging warmonger co-horts, and the baggage of Daddy's war gone wrong.

I'm not 100% sure of it, but it is my gut feeling.

Jon

i am sure you are right about this.
Still i have to accept that this is happening because alot of big money wants it to happen
