Bush Administration As Dangerous Now As Before

Why is it that you cannot find any negative articles on Cuba, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq under Saddam Hussien AND HIS SONS? Why can't you talk about how well they govern their populations and how everyone is free to say and do what they want. How their governments are free from the type of corruption that engulfs the Bush administration and while you are at it, how they treat THEIR prisoners?

You are looking in the wrong section. Look under "War and Peace".

Looking under "Uncle Sam" would naturally bring up stories about the US Government.

I will treat the question as genuine.

the government and some of the people of the USA as being the paragon s of democratic virtue.
They are not! Those that believe the US is are deluding themselves

Do you hoestly believe that by talking aboutthe similar corruptions of other countries legitimises "the type of corruption that engulfs the Bush administration" ?

No. It's just that you guys never look in other directions. Makes me wish the U.S.S.R. would have won the Cold War. Then your flag would be ALL red, with a hammer and sickle instead of a maple leaf.

This article comes from the section of this site called 'Eye on Uncle Sam'... so, although your question may be valid, it's misdirected. Why don't you use that passion and write your own article, then submit it? By the sounds of it, your arguments would be well-received and probably a healthy debate would come from it.

>>Then your flag would be ALL red, with a hammer and sickle instead of a maple leaf.<<

Why & how so? Did Canada show to much favoritism to Americans in the cold war?

Are you that stupid, so as to ask a question like that?

It looks like Mr. Bush has a better handle on the middle east then we could have thought. Iran wants to obliterate Israel. Who would stop Iran? The appeaser Euro Union, I doubt it. The U.N., I doubt it. Their too busy stealing money like the Canadian government. Me thinks that Mr. Bush trying to change the face of the middle east is not a bad goal. The other alternative is to kiss Israel away.

The animosity between Jews and Arabs, Indians and Pakistanis, and whoever else, between whoever else is thousands of years old. I say leave them all alone and let them fight each other and who ever, if anyone, is left standing then I guess they won. It's just that simple.

<br />
THE ACTORS ON THE REVOLUTIONARY STAGE<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear Mr. President:<br />
<br />
I am in sympathy with the Soviet form of government as that best suited for the Russian people...<br />
<br />
Letter to President Woodrow Wilson (October 17, 1918) from William Lawrence Saunders, chairman, Ingersoll-Rand Corp.; director, American International Corp.; and deputy chairman, Federal Reserve Bank of New York<br />
<br />
<br />
The frontispiece in this book was drawn by cartoonist Robert Minor in 1911 for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Minor was a talented artist and writer who doubled as a Bolshevik revolutionary, got himself arrested in Russia in 1915 for alleged subversion, and was later bank-rolled by prominent Wall Street financiers. Minor's cartoon portrays a bearded, beaming Karl Marx standing in Wall Street with Socialism tucked under his arm and accepting the congratulations of financial luminaries J.P. Morgan, Morgan partner George W. Perkins, a smug John D. Rockefeller, John D. Ryan of National City Bank, and Teddy Roosevelt — prominently identified by his famous teeth — in the background. Wall Street is decorated by Red flags. The cheering crowd and the airborne hats suggest that Karl Marx must have been a fairly popular sort of fellow in the New York financial district.<br />
<br />
Was Robert Minor dreaming? On the contrary, we shall see that Minor was on firm ground in depicting an enthusiastic alliance of Wall Street and Marxist socialism. The characters in Minor's cartoon — Karl Marx (symbolizing the future revolutionaries Lenin and Trotsky), J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller — and indeed Robert Minor himself, are also prominent characters in this book.<br />

Re: the posting on who "won the Cold War".

Nobody. With millions of others, many who died, I worked on the destruction of the USSR for 45 years with every weapon I could find and think of, with many contacts behind the Iron Curtain.

When our reporters stood by the Berlin Wall, boasting that "The East has chosen capitalism over communism", I knew that the West will screw up. Capitalism and the USA have not won the Cold War any more than beating pathetic Iraq. The USSR collapsed from within through its own corruption, when people just got fed up. The same way as it will happen to the totally corrupt US empire, when its people wake up.

Now, many, behind the former Iron Curtain wish they hadn't, because their living conditions still haven't reached the pre collapse levels 15 years later, while their ruling class became filthy rich on their backs.

The people behind the Iron Curtain did not "choose capitalism", but desperately wanted to be free. What they got instead was another, far more vicious ruling class, many of them former communists, who are stealing their eyes out without even any coverups and excuses.

So, stop the propaganda crap about "winning the Cold War" and get those goddamn B52s away from above our heads. The Cold War is supposed to be over. What the hell are those poor idiots training for to bomb ?

There is much truth to what you say, but that is an Canadian opinion which I understand. The Americans can't say so what and see how it all turns. That is one of the huge differences between our two countries. We have no real responsibility in the world and the Yanks have most of it. As Mark Steyn writing in the London Telegraph says "except for America the free world means a free ride".

Sorry Ed, but the collapse of the USSR was staged.

Could you please explain the staging ?

The cold hard fact was that the people couldn't take the fraud any longer and stopped supporting it, as they are nown getting burned by capitalism. I maintained my contacts for 45 years, some in position to travel abroad, where they could write to me freely, without any secret police censorship. I didn't know the detailed facts in the USSR itself, but have had good information about the satellites, where I speak 2 languages.

I have to admit, that in spite all this, the collapse with a whimper came as a surprise, thanks to Ghorbachov. This was something nobody could predict. The collapse itself was inevitable, as is the collapse of the US empire, because all empires self destruct, by going that one fatal step too far, but we were very much afraid of prolonged bloodshed and civil wars.

Let's hope our present empire will go the same way.

Ed Deak.
