Political Ranting- stolen from Chomsky

The security of an American life and home is worth more than an Iraqi life and home; this is the tacit assumption of our citizens who supports this war, and what Chomsky refers to as the "unpeople" perspective. I don't pretend to have the answers for the rise of religious factions that have ambitions to hurt Americans, Israerlis, or any so called non-believers, just like I don't know how to guarantee the thwarting of another al Qaeda attack on American soil. But any citizen with common sense knows the rise of hatred towards us across the globe has risen dramatically since the war began, and on the contrary we can point to no hard evidence this invasion has done anything to bolster national security.

But we can point to only one incident, only one incident in particular- not mentioning any attacks on embassies abroad or the USS Cole incident- the U.S. 9/11 tragedy, that has led us to discover neccesity for this war, yet the reasons behind the tragedy unfolding was less the manifestation of hatred abroad but moreso the breakdown of communication between goverment agencies. And as we continue this path towards a decades long battle waged against this elusive enemy, we look around and remember our common sense and realize there are many more pressing issues at home to be addressed to preserve our way of life, at the heart of which is democracy, so commonly now the first concession in the war on terror.

And what about this administrations' and other misguided citizens view of the American way of life and our sacred democracy supposedly threatened as well by illegal aliens seeking amnesty and even legal immigrants that ignore assimillation of language and culture? The very definition of this country and democracy is the preservation and protection of all cultures that makes America the land of the free. Time for a rereading of the Constitution by many of highest profile citizens.

And god bless our troops for standing in harm's way in the name of freedom and the United States of America. But is it not again the question of the standards at home that would force young men and women to risk life and limb fighting a battle that sixty percent of their countrypeople are skeptical of fundamentally? Is the front line the best option for them in such turbulent times? The ones that don't have the option to question the validness of how they spend their last minutes on Earth? I would gladly do my part to support democracy if it were threatened, if not thru battle thru the pen and the ballot box and the UN. We need to hold our hat in our hands and ask for help across the globe.
