Well, it appears that the lesson ole Georgie learned from the November "thumpin'" of the Republican party is that Americans want lots more troops in Iraq. The word is out that Bush is ordering at least 20,000 more troops to be deployed to Iraq ASAP. These won't really be new troops. Folks who were supposed to come home will be ordered to stay put, and those scheduled to be sent in the future will be sent sooner.

How can so much stupidity be concentrated in one person? A temporary (using the term loosely) increase in troop levels will mean nothing, and it certainly isn't what the country was hoping for when it ousted scores of Republicans in the November elections. Bush is planning a big press conference soon to explain his new strategery. He should just repeat what he said in a press conference last June, when he was asked if the tide was turning in Iraq: "I think -- tide turning -- see, as I remember -- I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of -- it's easy to see a tide turn -- did I say those words?" That makes about as much sense as anything else he's ever said about Iraq.

The stupidity is NOT concentrated in one person. It is concentrated in an ideology that inhabits many of the people beside and behind him. It is the Neo-Conservative program that was spawned in Vice-President Nixon's 1950's lair. That program was likely behind the political assasinations of the 1960's progressives JFK,RFK, and MLK.
That program infected LBJ and caused the Vietnam War. Stupidity.
That stupid ideology was behind the character assasination of Bill Clinton. People like Kissinger, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Haig,
North, Abrams.... the list goes on. So do their activities- IN POWER.

We will be regarded as the stupid ones if we don't effectively rid the planet of these people.

after rereading my reply I realize that the last sentence could be misinterpreted so let me be clear. I do not advocate violence,
unlike them.

...and what of Wellstone, The guy from Missouri, and the Liberal Republican Heinz...All died in plane crashes and at pivotal times too. I believe there are more.

Have any Conservative neo-cons perished with such frequency like Dems?

No, but it's not because of some conspiracy.

People are rarely moved to violence by the status quo. Liberal thinkers believe in change, a move away from the status quo. That tends to get people angry. And it doesn't matter which party is the perpetrator. Republicans have been assassinated for changing the status quo. In fact, the first Republican president was. By a Democrat who didn't appreciate Lincoln's program to free the slaves.
