[Peace-discuss] US "Sociocide" in Iraq; Democratic capitulation

[C. G. Estabrook]

Andrew Bacevich, the conservative war critic whose son was killed in 
Iraq lat week, says (on NPR, which desperately tried to spin it), "What 
kind of democracy is this when the people do speak and the people's 
voice is unambiguous -- but nothing happens?"

It's the wretched Democrats (including Feingold et al.) who've made sure 
nothing happens.  They've played their historical role of neutralizing 
what Americans (and Iraqis) have said they want, namely, an end to the 
war.  --CGE
