Yeah, you do have a point. I don't have specific candidates that would be so much better. To misquote Benjamin Franklin, "Its a plutocracy, madam, if you can keep it." The Republican Party is run by the US Chamber of Commerce, the Kochs, the Dems, by Soros, Tom Steyer, the Blackstone Group, and the rich do think differently. The above, are more alike, then we, in this mailing list are. Call it fiscal Darwinism (shrug). I would've have, back in 2001 launched a full scale attack in Afghan, and gone into Pakistan in pursuit of the jihadist, his ISI handlers, and not held the land or done nation building, But, I would have taught the Islamists, pain. They don't fear death, but they respect pain. I would also have pushed for world independence from feeding the OPEC beast, precisely. This we could do, but the ruling class sees things otherwise. Bush43's dad, 41, and his former secretary of state, are buds with the Saudi royals, with the Carlyle Group, and I personally suspect shrub's foreign policy was influenced by Saudi views on the world, As Freud once said about dream interpretation, "sometimes a banana is just a banana." This was, and is, my take.
And you'd like to bring back Shrub and the neo-cons because their show of American strength in Afghanistan and Iraq did so much to strengthen the U.S. Just like Viet Nam did a generation earlier.
