Why are the American people totally powerless when a President decides to wage war?

Q. If the USA is a democracy, why does the President and Congress spend billions and billions of borrowed money on a war based on what is now know as blatant lies. The same thing started the U.S. involvement in Vietnam, LIES. Is this the same as the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire? Can the USA keep spending BILLIONS OF DOLLARS it BORROWS EVERYDAY, on war to make the defense contractors rich Indefinately? Who will eventually have to repay the debt? Our Grandchildren? Will our governmemt eventually collaspe like the U.S.S.R's did because we have no control over the Republicans or Democrats. All get bought by the corporations don't they?

A. Hard rock, you've got a rocket in your pocket against GWB.

The "weapons of mass destruction" issue was some really bad intelligence. No doubts now. BUT it was reasonable at the time. It is a matter of HISTORICAL FACT that Iraq used those gas weapons agains Iran 20+ years ago. It is a matter of HISTORICAL FACT that Iraq used those weapons against the northern Kurdish tribes. It is a matter of HISTORICAL FACT that Iraq committed an act of aggression against the very peaceful nation of Kuwait. So if you intelligence that says "They've got more WMD and are preparing to use them again" - and at the time, you don't have IMMEDIATE reasons to doubt the intelligence, are you going to WAIT and let them have their way against their weaker neighbors?

Go read deeper into history. Those who ignore aggression face aggression all too soon. Look at the lessons of Nazi Germany. Everybody ignored what they were doing. Until suddenly war erupted and tore apart much of Europe.

Go read about Saddam's sons and how they liked little girls. About 12 years old, maybe 13, but DEFINITELY had to be virgin. They went away little girls. Came back women. Tell me you don't care about the atrocities committed against whole familis. Tell me your hatred is so deep that you don't care about the victims of Saddam's oppression.

One of my neighbors, now deceased, showed me her tattoo - it was her concentration camp number. She also told me something that I still remember. "All it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing."
