Meglomaniac America

President Bush recently made the statement that no one would interfere in “his government”. I guess I am behind the times because I always thought that the United States Government was the Government of the American People and not the domain of the Bush family. Megalomania can be harmless in the minds of the powerless but when it infects the leader of the most powerful nation in the world it can result in disaster. It seems as though this megalomania is running rampant in Washington based on the recent statements of Connecticut Senator Lieberman. Senator Lieberman now wants to bomb Iran based on “evidence” that he apparently is not willing to share with the American people. If Americans, (i.e., poor Americans since the wealthy have no reason to sacrifice since they have the poor to fight their battles), are going to offer their children to the Bush/Lieberman megalomaniacs then I think we need to have solid and confirmed evidence(not by them but by third party nations) that offering our children so their friends can play golf and cruise the Gulf, is in the interest of all Americans.
We as a society have grown so inept in understanding what it is to have a bomb dropped on our houses. War is not a computer game. We think that we are special among nations, we are not, we are a nation among nations. Most of us are just lucky to have been born here. That “luck” allows us to speak our minds, at least for now. I believe that Americans, other than those families who have experienced the ultimate sacrifice of a loved one or are struggling with the military and/or the Veterans Administration and know what losing a life or the quality of life to war is all about, have no clue what it is to sacrifice and be a true American.
