Politics & Government - 12 November 2006

I went today and loved seeing the veterans, members of the armed services, cadets, and representatives of other relevant organisations. But there seemed to be a lot of civilians, not necessarily assisting the infirm and some wearing their grandfather's medals. This country has millions of servicemen's grandchildren - should they all get to march alongsie those who served? It diluted the parade of those to whom we owe thanks with regular folks basking in unearned adulation. Does anyone know who some of these people are? How did they get in the parade?

Is it because there the citizens don't get to vote on it?

Every time it is brought to a state vote it is defeated.

Extremist Republicans call Democrats unpatriotic.
Extremist Democrats call Republicans blind sheep.

If you engage in this behavior, why do you do it? and Do you really believe that it serves your chosen cause?

If you do not engage in this behavior, are you tired of it? and Do you think it serves any good purpose in the political debate?

This question is not about politicians, but rather about the political interaction between average people.

The US vetoed yet another UN Resolution chastising Israel for attacks on Gaza. I understand supporting our allies, but can anyone rationally explain to me why we continue to defy world opinion and justify Israeli attacks, when we would support and initiate the same condemnation if perpetrated by other nations?

But the Republicans everywhere claim that the Democrats are non-patriotic.. Is the President wrong again? or is he lying again?

The United States State Dept and Defense Dept is very openly and actively engaging in a Castro death watch, clearly believing the minute he dies, there's a crack in that country's status quo that will enable us to normalize relations with them, if not swoop in to resume our precise relationship with them from the pre-1956 era. A few questions are in order...

Who will succeed Castro? What if the Western Hemisphere gains it's own Kim Jong Il? What if Cuba and the US move backward from their current almost half century stalemate to more nuclear confrontations?

The time seems ripe -- on the 'bring it on' President's watch -- to bearbait the United States. Citizen's fear of nuclear confrontation has been blunted by decades of nothing like this happening. My concern, as a US citizen, is that we will one day succumb to the baiting and do something foolish. Do you think it's possible that we have taken the Cuba's stability and predictability under Castro for granted?

Serious answers welcome
