Thanks, but.

But that's why you don't set the precedent.  I'm not saying its right.  I don't even agree with it because what Bush did was criminal.

But I do understand why you don't cross that bridge.

You know what they say about soldiers not taking any risks? It's their job to take risks. Worse with politicians. Supposed to represent us. No danger whatsoever other than not being able to park their asses on some high paid chair in parliament, congress or whatever the particular house is called. If that's enough to make them poop their pants, I have zero understanding. Only disgust. Even more so, since a solid part of the population would welcome an honest politician wth open arms if they showed some guts in the right moment and really acted in the name of the people.

Again, when idealism confronts reality idealism usually takes it up the ass.


BTW, I don't really agree with you.  I think Mencken said it best.

“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.”

― H.L. Mencken

What 'Murricans want to hear is that "We're #1" "Land of the Free"  "Home of the Brave" and "Fuck Foreigners."

Hence, Drumpf.

John Prescott: Ex-deputy PM says Iraq War was illegal

Lord Prescott also said Prime Minister Tony Blair's statement that "I am with you, whatever" in a message to US President George W Bush before the invasion in March 2003, was "devastating".

"A day doesn't go by when I don't think of the decision we made to go to war. Of the British troops who gave their lives or suffered injuries for their country. Of the 175,000 civilians who died from the Pandora's Box we opened by removing Saddam Hussein," he went on.

Pity the fat fuck didn't speak up in 2003, when he could have done something.

Who only speaks for and to a fraction of the people. If the polls aren't entirely wrong. You seem to go out of your way to paint all the citizens to be nationalistic dimwits.
