I'm almost 62 years old.
Correct--at least I can't comment.
I've been politically aware for about 45 years.
I would guess a bit longer, from your postings.
I'm not politicially naive, I don't believe.
If you DO believe you're politically naive.
I think this admininistration more than any other in American history
is guilty of crimes of against humanity.
Correct again!
1. Massively inappropriate use of faith as a pollitical "force," not
as an inviation.
2. Hopelessly misguided war, fought with inadequate resources to
protect our own troops and a shocking low regard for civilian
casualties. (On the radio, one of the Pentagon planners said that a bomb
could be dropped ONLY if there would probably be fewer than 30 civilain
casualties. We've dropped, what, 50,000 bombs.....?
3. Disregard for human rights for foreigners even remotely suspected
of terrorism
4. Disregard for U.S. citizens' rights on a level that makes the
McCarthy era seem tame.
5. Corporate ties that accelerate the exsanguination of the lower class.
6. Selective ignoring of global problems like global warming or AIDS
7. etc. etc. etc.
And I hope they will be held accoutable before international courts.
Am I wrong?
Finally, something I can disagree wth: Ther will be NO accounting. NO
blame or responsibility assigned. Mr. Bush will retire to Texas and have
barbecues with his Dad.
