Amen.

Better not try to tell Rush and Sean that. Did you not know that we are only trying to spread peace and freedom and that W is the first President brave enough to take on the terrorists?

Things will only change when there is no other option or the market forces are so overwhelming that it doesn't matter what the governments do. The problem is figuring out how to protect yourself against that day. I am shocked, shocked to find that we are an empire!
