Ghouls [View All]

[DemoVet]

I just finished Paul Krugman's article on how the regime has exploited the events of 9/11/01 for their own ends, few of which have anything to do with making our country more secure. It occured to me that these people, like ghouls, are feeding on the dead, both from that event and from the mounting casualties in Iraq (American and Iraqi both) in order to sustain themselves in power. As Mr. Krugman points out, it is now driven more by fear than choice: certainly the greatest nightmare for the regime is a Democratic attorney general and/or a Democratic or non-Republican-majority senate with subpoena powers. The next year may prove to be one of the most decisive in history.
