[Peace-discuss] Bush-Obama terrorism in AfPak

[Neil Parthun]

Show where there is a difference between Bush and Obama on this  
policy of Pakistan militarism.  If you can't show a difference in the  
policy, then quit complaining about the equation.

Bush has increased military presence in AfPak.  Obama has explicitly  
stated multiple times that he wishes to do the exact same thing.

Show a difference in this policy rather than whining about the  
characterization and being an apologist for an Obama mass murder.

Its not the act of seeing with our own eyes alone; its correctly  
comprehending what we see,

      Neil

  We absolutely have to refuse to attribute any kind of permanency to  
that which is simply because it is.
[angela v. davis, 1944-]

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.  
Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as  
you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with  
too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
[ralph waldo emerson, 1803-1882]

What is also vile is the subject title of this piece, as it equates  
Bush with Obama.  The equation of Bush with Obama is characteristic  
of Estabrook commentaries.
