I agree with Bobert. What is at stake is not only democracy in the US but also choice of government around the world. The game plan as I see it is a New World Order. I perceive it to be theft of the whole damned planet--its resources and all the people on it. Multi-nationals and governments are beginning to sleep together (as they often did before), but now there is almost no attempt to hide it. Iraq don't mean squat in the grand scheme of things (I realize it means lots to the Iraqi people), but its geographical location certainly provides a strategic locale for any parties interested in settlin' down the Middle East and being where the resources of the Middle East are. In short, it ain't just about the USA; rather, it's really about all of us. We are being enslaved, and we ain't doin' all that much about it.
