How Times Have Changed
How short our memories! Three articles of impeachment were approved by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974; Nixon resigned less than two weeks later. But what were those charges, and how do they relate to George W. Bush today? Among the charges were these:
-- Without lawful cause or excuse [Richard M. Nixon] “failed to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House…and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas…thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested in the Constitution in the House of Representatives.”
-- “Endeavouring to cause prospective defendants…to expect favoured treatment and consideration in return for their silence or false testimony.”
-- “Endeavouring to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency.”

Who wins?
Memo to Obama, McCain: No one wins in a war
Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + By Howard Zinn
July 17, 2008
BARACK OBAMA and John McCain continue to argue about war. McCain says to keep the troops in Iraq until we "win" and supports sending more troops to Afghanistan. Obama says to withdraw some (not all) troops from Iraq and send them to fight and "win" in Afghanistan.
For someone like myself, who fought in World War II, and since then has protested against war, I must ask: Have our political leaders gone mad? Have they learned nothing from recent history? Have they not learned that no one "wins" in a war, but that hundreds of thousands of humans die, most of them civilians, many of them children?
Did we "win" by going to war in Korea? The result was a stalemate, leaving things as they were before with a dictatorship in South Korea and a dictatorship in North Korea. Still, more than 2 million people - mostly civilians - died, the United States dropped napalm on children, and 50,000 American soldiers lost their lives.
Did we "win" in Vietnam? We were forced to withdraw, but only after 2 million Vietnamese died, again mostly civilians, again leaving children burned or armless or legless, and 58,000 American soldiers dead.
Did we win in the first Gulf War? Not really. Yes, we pushed Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, with only a few hundred US casualties, but perhaps 100,000 Iraqis died. And the consequences were deadly for the United States: Saddam was still in power, which led the United States to enforce economic sanctions. That move led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, according to UN officials, and set the stage for another war.
In Afghanistan, the United States declared "victory" over the Taliban. Now the Taliban is back, and attacks are increasing. The recent US military death count in Afghanistan exceeds that in Iraq. What makes Obama think that sending more troops to Afghanistan will produce "victory"? And if it did, in an immediate military sense, how long would that last, and at what cost to human life on both sides?
The resurgence of fighting in Afghanistan is a good moment to reflect on the beginning of US involvement there. There should be sobering thoughts to those who say that attacking Iraq was wrong, but attacking Afghanistan was right.
Go back to Sept. 11, 2001. Hijackers direct jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing close to 3,000 A terrorist act, inexcusable by any moral code. The nation is aroused. President Bush orders the invasion and bombing of Afghanistan, and the American public is swept into approval by a wave of fear and anger. Bush announces a "war on terror."
Except for terrorists, we are all against terror. So a war on terror sounded right. But there was a problem, which most Americans did not consider in the heat of the moment: President Bush, despite his confident bravado, had no idea how to make war against terror.
Yes, Al Qaeda - a relatively small but ruthless group of fanatics - was apparently responsible for the attacks. And, yes, there was evidence that Osama bin Laden and others were based in Afghanistan. But the United States did not know exactly where they were, so it invaded and bombed the whole country. That made many people feel righteous. "We had to do something," you heard people say.
Yes, we had to do something. But not thoughtlessly, not recklessly. Would we approve of a police chief, knowing there was a vicious criminal somewhere in a neighborhood, ordering that the entire neighborhood be bombed? There was soon a civilian death toll in Afghanistan of more than 3,000 - exceeding the number of deaths in the Sept. 11 attacks. Hundreds of Afghans were driven from their homes and turned into wandering refugees.
Two months after the invasion of Afghanistan, a Boston Globe story described a 10-year-old in a hospital bed: "He lost his eyes and hands to the bomb that hit his house after Sunday dinner." The doctor attending him said: "The United States must be thinking he is Osama. If he is not Osama, then why would they do this?"
We should be asking the presidential candidates: Is our war in Afghanistan ending terrorism, or provoking it? And is not war itself terrorism?

Thoughts on Thomas Paine
I wish everyone would read Thomas Paine.
Paine was as responsible as anyone for the success of the American Revolution. In a period when enthusiasm and support for the cause was in serious jeopardy, Paine,at the urging of George Washington wrote The American Crisis. The resulting surge in support for the revolution was instrumental in the ultimate success of the colonies drive for independence and Paine deserves to be remembered as one of the founding fathers along with Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and all the rest.
Thomas Paine was democracy's greatest promoter, He challenged the concept of the aristocracy and the divine right of kings and promoted -We The People- in a form of language accessible to the average reader. His words are as relevant and easily understood today as they were then. One idea he eloquently opposed was the importance of tradition. The democratic ideals of the newly emerging American republic were antithetical to the conservative notions of champions of the status quo. Conservatives like Edmund Burke believed that it was essential to honor the traditions of the past and preserve the aristocracy. Paine declared that no generation should be bound by the constraints of previous generations. If such were the case we would never progress beyond the most primitive ideas of antiquity. Mr. Paine was a liberal in the original sense of the word.
As the world emerged from the dark ages into the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, thinkers like Thomas Paine made The United States possible.
After the success of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine went on to play important roles in the evolving democracies of both France and England. While imprisoned in France he wrote The Age of Reason which exposed the illogic and inconsistency of the Bible and subsequently earned him the wrath of the the Christian majorities of the day.
One of the great men in Amercan history, he died impoverished and unmourned,much to the shame of the country he revered and did so much to create.
Men like Paine who created this country would have been paraded through the streets and hung,had they failed. They were the intellectual elite of their day. Their thoughts changed the course of history. Read what they said and compare the tone and quality of their discourse to the present day offerings of The Limbaughs and Hannity's that dominate the airwaves.
Now,tell yourself there's no such thing as the dumbing of America.

letter to Stephanopoulos
Dear George,
I am looking forward to the next round table on Sunday morning.
I hope that you and George Will and Cokie and whoever will do a more complete analysis of the the absolute necessity of choosing a next president of the United States who understands the need to wear a flag lapel pin at all times and not just at speeches and press conferences. What about those times when he's playing golf or lounging about in his pajamas? Patriotism is a full time job. Just think how much encouragement the terrorists receive knowing we have leaders who don't wear lapel pins. I have every confidence that you will keep the pressure up on this crucial issue.
Sincerely,
Paul B Scott
P.S.
You can bet your ass the founding fathers all had lapel pins.

The Wisdom of The Decider
Bush says if younger, he would work in Afghanistan Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:11pm EDT By Tabassum Zakaria WASHINGTON
(Reuters) -
U.S. President George W. Bush got an earful on Thursday about problems and progress in Afghanistan where a war has dragged on for more than six years but been largely eclipsed by Iraq. In a videoconference, Bush heard from U.S. military and civilian personnel about the challenges ranging from fighting local government and police corruption to persuading farmers to abandon a lucrative poppy drug trade for other crops. Bush heard tales of all-night tea drinking sessions to coax local residents into cooperating, and of tribesmen crossing mountains to attend government meetings seen as building blocks for the country's democracyin-the-making.
"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said. "If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."
"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," Bush said.

OK, let's review. 9-11 changes everything. Terrorists can do horrible things armed with boxcutters. The bad guys are in Afghanistan, so we go after them there but before we get them we change our mind and go to Iraq because there are better targets there.
Meanwhile, the bad guys in Afghanistan get away. At first we go to Iraq because they have really terrible weapons and they might do bad things with them and Saddam is not a nice person. We find out they didn't have any weapons after all but figure it's a good thing because Saddam is not a nice person and the Iraqi's need to be free. Even if we have to kill a few hundred thousand of them,give or take a few hundred thousand or so. This pisses some Iraqi's off so they start killing our guy's . Then they start killing each other because they are now free and get to vote and do really cool democracy type things. Pretty soon a few million Iraqui's are homeless, they have no electricity, the infrastructure is pretty much destroyed but... they have purple ink on their fingers.
By now everyone in the world pretty much thinks we suck and we've spent a trillion dollars and counting. Oil is 105 dollars a barrel, the dollar is worth less than the euro, gold is over 900 dollars an ounce, a recession is almost a certainty, and the the housing market which was the only thing propping up the economy has come to a standstill. Fortunately the President gets advice from Mr Deity who as everyone knows is omnipotent,and omniscient and works in strange ways. The deficit is over 900 billion dollars for the past three years and the National Debt is approaching ten trillion dollars,but the vice president is confident that deficits don't matter because Reagan proved that.
Also, we've decided that it's OK to torture people, that Habeus Corpus and the Geneva Convention are passe and the President and anyone who works for him doesn't have to pay attention to laws they find inconvenient. In fact anything the President does is legal because he does it. This is called the Unitary executive theory and it has undoubtedly been approved by Mr. Deity.
Spreading democracy is hard. If everyone in the world would just do what we tell them to do, things would be a lot easier. Really,just how the hell do they think they're ever going to become free and democratic if they insist on doing whatever they want whenever they want.Talk about selfish.
Fortunately, it won't be long before all the Christians get raptured and Jesus comes back and kills everyone thats left. Google John Hagee for details.

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.
How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?' Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.' A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.
You see, the religious people — most of them — really think this planet is an experiment. That's what their beliefs come down to. Some god or other is always fixing and poking, messing around with tradesmen's wives, giving tablets on mountains, commanding you to mutilate your children, telling people what words they can say and what words they can't say, making people feel guilty about enjoying themselves, and like that. Why can't the gods leave well enough alone? All this intervention speaks of incompetence..... If God is omnipotent and omniscient, why didn't he start the universe out in the first place so it would come out the way he wants? Why's he constantly repairing and complaining? No, there's one thing the Bible makes clear: The biblical God is a sloppy manufacturer. He's not good at design, he's not good at execution. He'd be out of business if there was any competition. [Carl Sagan]
