Comments on: A Page (or two) from Dubya’s GOP Official U.S. History Book: Iraq is like Vietnam — only better. http://baracktheyouthvote.wordpress.com/2007/08/24/a-page-or-two-from-dubyas-gop-official-us-history-book-iraq-is-like-vietnam-only-better/ Mobilizing a New Generation of Politics Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:50:33 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Carol http://baracktheyouthvote.wordpress.com/2007/08/24/a-page-or-two-from-dubyas-gop-official-us-history-book-iraq-is-like-vietnam-only-better/#comment-1241 Carol Wed, 29 Aug 2007 19:34:17 +0000 http://baracktheyouthvote.wordpress.com/2007/08/24/a-page-or-two-from-dubyas-gop-official-us-history-book-iraq-is-like-vietnam-only-better/#comment-1241 Bill Maher referred to Dubya and wife as the "Royal Duke and Duchess of Hazard come to call on foreign nations." I'm deeply saddened to the point of near-depression over the cumulative suffering brought upon serially re-deployed American service people, Iraqi innocents and our few allies who volunteered to help in the Iraq War. Balladeer Bob Dylan owns a cryptic lyric about teaching peace to the conquered. Dubya has attached a capitalist's fee to that lesson; just say "Uncle" about signing over your country's oil and we'll (wink) declare your terrorist nation as being "stabilzed". Chaos reigns in Iraq as our own social, healthcare, infrastructure and educational systems are drained - and we mortgage the bill. Yes, my battle with hopelessness and despair are signs of depression, but continued resignations and impending impeachment will surely lance this national necrotic (oil) boil. A sense of futility must be the number one reason for voter apathy. All political leaders are not the same. Pro-war mouth-pieces count on voters giving up, forgetting or giving in come election time. Voting them OUT is our only prescription for renewed health. Historically speaking, impeachment is a rare distinction to earn and it's designed to provide liberty to the masses.
