It is the result of the Democratic Domino theory of the neo-cons, with their Trotskyte belief in the eternal revolution (Capitalist this time) and our need to export it.

That's permanent revolution. And it has nothing to do with what the Neo-cons aer pushing.

Permanent Revolution is simply this. When the weak bourgeoisies of colonial and neo-colonial countries attempt to throw off the old system (be it feudalism, tribalism, etc), they are too weak to do it themselves. They must call upon the aid of the working class to aid them, however, once the working class has seized power, rather than turning it over to the bourgeoisie, they should keep it for themsleves, and make the revolution permanent.

This has nothing to do with the belief that US imperialism can be a force for good.

I'm tired of the backhanded insults to Trotskyism, as if we're somehow to blame.

Don't act line a neo-con Che, trying to stiffle opinion

It was a ritual whereby Bush gave the American people a short description of on what he's going to be spending their money and a price tag. He was going over the head of Congress (who appropriates the funds and could make life hell for him) straight to the taxpayers. A good strategy.

Given that members of Congress got there by getting more votes than their opponents, rather than fewer, what's so good about it? Pretzel Boy has some sort of leverage here?

Americans are going to bombard Congress with demands to spend 87-billion dollars of our money in Iraq (and that's just this year!)...

This I gotta see!

He didn't mention anything about how our country owes the United Nations money either, did he?

The UN is like an incompetent contractor.

We'll pay when we see something worth paying for.

A nice cross-over to Trotskij there gepap. Can we expect to see you sneak up on Wolfowitz with a ice-pick any time soon?

[GePap]

Well, that includes a lot of Afghanistan money too. But things could turn against the Dems pretty quickly if it appears that Bush is being obstructed in doing his job. Presidents get a lot of leash on military matters.

[GePap]

No dems as of yet have questioned giving the money: why should they, great reason to opose the pres. in making the tax cuts permanent, and painting him as fiscally irresponsible. Hel, Reps. are more likey to ***** about his spendthrift ways.

Yeah right -- like the United States will actually pay what it owes after the United Nations carries out the request for help in Iraq.

Nope -- I bet the United States will just continue disregarding its debt. Is this how capitalism works? You simply ignore who you owe, and how much?

In exactly the same manner some idiot redneck with a gun takes defending his property seriously, shoot first and maybe think about it later. To hell with everyone else!

I can't decide whether you're posting that in support of Bush, or as some kind of delightful irony.
