Thank goodness some people are coming around.

Bush is just executing a power grab in the middle east thats all thats about ...World domination...their trying to build america up to be this great unstoppable force..which i feel they've suceeded already by creatin Pre-emptive war's...We got the power to destroy whatever country crosses Us ...Even before they get a chance to strike back......the think with the iraq and countries like it is ..that When your a conservative trying to maintain control in RADICAL countries their is going to be great conflict .....for the simply that fact that these People are radicals..they're going to be harder to subdue ...the only way you could really control situations like that is go in invade or just wipe everyone out..while rebuilding form scratch....So G.W .B is only making things worse by being over there ...that is why you have troops over their to to at least maintain some stability sooo they can go in and do as they please...I the war has gotten more political ..its all about politics now ..These far-right wing christian conservatives ..Want to eliminate all Radical type behavoir around the world ..That includes the american people ...Their aim basically is similar to what the protestant settlers did when reaching "The new world"..They Reformed the way the native peoples beliefs were ....they just want this to be and americanized Israel...It's true ..they want this to be the New Holy nation ......
The problem with that is They have demonized the very bible that they stand by ...Just to get their way and satisfy their Personal Agenda's on how Your lives should be lived...........
As a matter of fact If you look up Hitlers christian right...their are more than one similarities between our christian right and his ........People really need to wake up and understand how things like emotions and beliefs and atitudes towards beleifs ..Are manipulated It's been done throught out History countless times ..."Monopoly On God"....Hit's it right on the Head ...In capitolistic societies..The word monopolyizing is a more Sacred word than the "Bible"..Or "God"
