We'll remember November, when our hopes were dashed - and rekindled
By Hal Crowther

November 2006 was a month that historians will study in minute detail, day by day and headline by headline, when they attempt to reconstruct the iron chain of misery the United States has been forging for itself since September 2001 — though some will maintain that November 2000, with its still-disputed presidential election, was the actual beginning of our decline and fall.

It didn’t take “well-placed sources” or special intelligence, neither the kind of intelligence the Bush cabal pressure-cooked or fabulated or ignored nor the kind that most of them were born without. It took only common sense and a little history and a seasoned touch of humility about the limitations of American military presence in an occupied country.

Yet it all comes back to oil. Never mind the neocon interventionists with their missionary zeal for “exporting democracy” or the brainsick fundamentalist Christians who base their enthusiasm for holy wars and pro-Israel foreign policy on the Book of Revelation.
