M's belief in the "ludicrous pretext" of Bush's wanting to spread democracy to the Middle East shows just how much he wanted to believe in Bush.

Yeah, it's a "ludicrous pretext alright, but not for the same reasons that most people have been deceived into believing...Witness Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

The USA should not even be a Democracy & has no business whatsoever of spreading Democracy. In short, the People have been deceived into a government based upon "mob rule," where any charismatic person with a good PR campaign can sway 51% of the population into voting away the Rights of the other 49%.

However, I think I have some good news for a change of pace: It seems Congress is sharpening its teeth against Bush trying to hide himself from investigation. There's 2 measures in Congress that may help provide more accountability in government: H.R. 985: Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007 & S. 274: Federal Employee Protection of Disclosures Act. These are measures to amend Title 5 of the United States Code.
The bad news is that these measures have been sitting "on the table" for too long already to help McClellan.

BTW, if you wish to contact your reps & Senators about this, there's the Open the Government website...

You know, I remember when Ronald Reagan was running for President and reading that one of his campaign people said that democracy was just an "illusion". Thus, the voters could be manipulated. And they were.

Yes, Karl Rove used the 50 Plus 1 idea with great success. (For the Republicans, not for his country). What a cynical pig! (Sorry! My apologies to pigs...I really do like hogs.)

George Bush, during his presidential campaign, was painted as someone who you could have a beer with at a barbeque, someone who would stop and help you change a flat tire. Hell, he's a recovering alcoholic who started the conflagration in Iraq! And not only did he stop to "help", he stole the car!

Thanks for the good news with the links!
