I think you've hit the nail on the head here. Bipartisanship is just another cloak for the perpetual war against a race, a religion, or an 'ism.

This type of foreign policy has pervaded the US government for many decades. Now, we have military presence in 700+ locations around the world, we've often backed ruthless dictators, staged coups, and waged wars that kill millions.

We need a new direction for our foreign policy. One that's based on the advice of people like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson - one that focus on defense rather than militarism, empire and war.

You hit the nail on the head with this post - well done. The Adams quite was quite telling. I'm hopeful that more and more people will pay attention to this stark warning; a warning which has obviously come true these days.

It never ceases to amaze me - people who oppose Bush's criminal wars of aggression are continually labelled as something awful - America Haters, with the terrorists, the cut and run crowd, or whatever other buzzword they've decided to spew.

But the reality is quite different. It's these war lovers that are acting with complete hatred towards everything this country is supposed to stand for - liberty, peace, prosperity...

They're quite willing to give up all that to quench their thirst for power, profits and war. The time for this to end is now.
