ö Don't attack Iran, don't sell out to Bush's "surge" on Iraq  Dave Lindorff, co-author of The Case for Impeachment, has a blog, This Can't Be Happening! The last couple of entries are very interesting: Are Bush & Cheney Planning Early Attack on Iran? Sell-Out Democrats Have Walked into a Bush Trap on Iraq ... The end result of this betrayal of the electorate, which has made it clear it wants an end to the Iraq War, will be a collapse of the Democrats in 2008, with the party losing both houses of Congress and probably the White House too. It will be a richly deserved collapse. While the hour is late, there is yet a slim chance for the public to rescue the Democrats from this course of political suicide and the nation from disaster. If masses of committed people from all walks of life take to the streets on January 27, when United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Impeach for Change are planning a major demonstration against war and against the crimes of the Bush administration, maybe enough Democrats in Congress will realize the intensity of public opposition to further pointless mayhem and slaughter in the Middle East, and will realize the only option is to pull the plug on the president’s imperialist megalomania--and to initiate impeachment hearings against the president. I realize counting on Democrats to do the right thing, even in their own self-interest, is a thin reed on which to rest hopes for a return to national sanity, but we need to grasp it.  MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!! permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?
