U.S. State Department Policy Planning Study #23, 1948:

“Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity [U.S. military-economic supremacy]... To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming... We should cease to talk about vague and...unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”

— George Kennan

BE VERY AFRAID

Bush Watch

U.S. diplomat resigns over Iraq war plans

US Diplomat Resigns to Protest Iraq Policy

And alot of us, for many months, have been saying the same shit that these same US patriots are now saying.

My wish: John Howard and George Bush up together at the Hague for defying the UN. Oh, but, but, weapons of mass debation

Do Americans understand what their none-too-bright President has got them into?

A US led invasion of a broke-dick Iraq is suposed to intimidate terrorist groups into fading away forever?
This is just adding fuel to a fire.
