The previous post arises out of my disgust with the lack of congruency between Bush’s words, and his “deeds”. It stands right up there with the level of propaganda he so ardently opposes in his rhetoric, and probably secretly admires for its level of deceit. What the Bush team really wants , is nothing they can lay claim to in public expression, for it would be shot down immediately, even by most of his “followers” and most ardent supporters. And then there are those who truly do nod in approval of neoconservative agenda, and truly believe that the U.S. has some sort of superiority claim which is the basis of its justifications for doing anything it damn well pleases.

Zinn’s A People’s History has been outlining how this is really nothing new, and I acknowledge this, except to say that it has reached new heights as to what is widely perceived to be “acceptable” superpower behaviour. It certainly wouldn’t, even now, be considered as such if it were “someone else” carrying out such abuse, and walking so cockily across and over the rights and people of other nations.
