When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

My dear Pres. Bush:
You are pointing in the wrong direction. You are substituting short term gains for yourself and a few friends for long term gains for the world.
What you need to do, first, is abandon this foolish war aim; and second, begin to work toward world peace and disarmament. Capitalism, which you support, works best on a small local scale. You don't want to take over the world. You may think you do, but trust me, it's a bad idea for you AND the world.
You should work at enhancing democracy around the world. You should strive to protect and enhance our physical environment. In all these areas, you should bear in mind that "too late" may pop up on the horizon and neither you nor your henchpeople will have foreseen it.
