This is making me so sick. We are still, after four years, bombing the homes in a country that never attacked us and never threatened us. We are still, after four years, killing off civilians. This is wrong. This is evil.

Last night, a local candidate for the local Democratic party made the statement that "America is the best country in the world." He is wrong, wrong, wrong. Maybe it was true when he was a kid, but it is true no longer. Now we are a country that does wars of aggression, occupations of countries that did not hurt us, failure to take care of the people whose lands we are occupying, torture, rape, kidnapping, disappearing, covert terrorism on foreign soil, gulags, concentration camps in the US, and total disrespect for the rule of law and any standard of human decency. That is America today. And we are the most hated country, the most vilified country, on the planet.

And while we can pin the blame on bush, cheney, rumsfled, wolfowitz, perle, leedeen, colter, o'lielly, judith miller, and a whole host of others -

It would NOT have happened without the support of the American people and the Democratic party.

This makes me so sick.
