Time for a change?
Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker once again authors an excellent article, Shifting Targets, about the possible run-up to an attack on Iran. It’s well worth the read.
Thankfully, our congressional representatives are ever vigilant of the inevitable catastrophe that will result… or maybe not, as last week’s Senate 76-22 vote on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment against Iran demonstrates! And, if you’re thinking that a Democratic president will surely ride to the rescue in 2008 to restore sanity to our foreign policy, think again as even left-wing bloggers point out that Hillary Votes for War Again.
It’s time we stopped looking at the problems in Washington in bipartisan terms of Republicans and Democrats, and start to realize that their cozy little corporate/PAC financed power sharing arrangement has effectively locked the American people out of the decision making process. Whatever happen to nonpartisan thinking? What’s the point of going back and forth if neither side seems capable of leading the nation forward?
It’s interesting to note that Forty percent of Americans have never lived when there wasn’t a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. Isn’t it time we started to question the wisdom of a democratic nation being ruled by political dynasties?
Isn’t it time for a change?
