There weren’t that many people who were watching that statue w tumble.

And they for the most part were imported as part of Chalabi’s team of propaganda rabble rousers.

Score 1 for the US Propaganda machine!

I’m not sure if we’ve ushered in freedom. I’m a bit skeptical of whether the Bush administration is all that interested in investing a lot into rebuilding Iraq–I sure hope so, but some of the people in his cabinet (Wolfowitz and Rumsfield) are of the “bomb and abandon” school.

I hope Bush works collaboratively with the U.N. I know the Security Council pissed him off, but now is a good time to mend some fences, and improve world public opinion of the U.S.

I’m really scared about the economic picture. The Republicans are trying to push through these massive (and unsupportable) tax and budget cuts, and they denounce anyone who opposes such cuts as unpatriotic, even treacherous. It angers me that the Republicans are so cravenly and unfairly shrouding their ill-conceived initiatives in the flag. When Sen. Kerry called for a regime change in the U.S. several Republican leaders wanted his head on a platter–it’s absurd and angering: dissent is American; demagoguery is despotic.

I hope a miracle happens in the next elections, and there’s a regime change in the U.S.; the world would be a better place . . . and this coming from a former Bush supporter.
