Victor;

With a republican oriented judicial system, elected majority in congress and the senate the administration is assured to receive approval of whatever the party wants. Peace through war. That was the title I gave to the LBJ administration. There will be a heck of a lot more than the “domino effect” LBJ was worried about when this administration engages itself in “cleaning up Iraq”.

What happened to all those republican politicians that were complaining about President Clinton committing United States troops to Peace Keeping Actions? The republicans told us we should not be doing such things. I guess war is better and justified when your father failed to complete the job the first time around. Now baby Bush wants to finish what daddy started and failed to resolve. Daddy. Tell me. What should I do?

We are being told about the wonderful job we did after World War II in reconstructing and introducing democracy in Germany and Japan. I would suggest times and circumstances are different with Iraq. Imposing our form of democracy upon another nation will be absurd and disrupt world stability even more!

The nice thing about our democracy is that we have elections to voice the opinion of the majority. All right – the majority voice does not always rule. However, I often feel that “freedom of choice” has more responsibility than the average person is able to represent.

With each administration comes an attitude of what the model of democracy should be. It is truly inconceivable our experiment of democracy has lasted so long.
