saw Some of Charlie Rose interviewing Bill Moyers. He seems to feel that the war is to benefit private companies. These compnaies sometimes have sway over the military. For example, a HumVee rolls over a mine, the occupants have to call a private company to get a tow- they aren't allowed to push it off the road. The tow company says it will be several hours, so the occupants have to just sit there in the open. I would say lots of folks are benefitting from the way in Iraq.
As far as new politics goes, "The Powers That Be" have too much invested to let things change. Assuming Obama does get elected, I think he will run into the side of a granite wall. I don't think he'll get hurt, though. He doesn't seem to have a plan or stradegy for ANYTHING.
Just to keep things interesting; I agree with Rev Wright, and all the white folks who think black folks don't have a reason to stay mad as hell are kind of dumb. Obama distancing himself is like Clinton saying he smoked but didn't inhale. Can either one of those guys even fatasize that anyone is buying that? He's been in the guys church for how long and was married by him and he nver know how Wright felt? Puh-leese. I'd actually vote for him if he waould admit that white folks are still scared of the truth. But- he's a politician and Opera doesn't get it. She supports a black man- not a leader.
I'm not voting this election. Voting for the one who may or may not be the "most electable" just isn't exercising my right to vote for the (in my opinion) BEST LEADER OF THE USA.
