Interesting...what has the "dictator" dictated to you, personally, recently?

The citizens, rather the consumers, of the United States, having been told what freedom is, accept the dropping of tens of thousands of pounds of ordnance and bombs on a major city as acceptable. As Sheila McCarthy (Catholic Worker, "The Veneer of Normalcy", May 2003) states, doing so, makes "sense of the glorification of military power" if we accept the assumptions that "the lifestyle of the American people is worth killing for" and that "the United States has a divine right and destiny to police the world." Inherent in these assumptions is the religious belief that everyone in the world shares our world view. If they don't sooner or later, the war that doesn't end in our lifetime will bring a McDonalds and Hardees to your neighborhood whether you like it or not. McCarthy's "veneer of normalcy" goes further.

It was possible for Adolf Eichmann to carry out his duties because he accepted certain assumptions, the most important of which being that the Nazi government was a legitimate institution to which a good German must be loyal. Once this authority is accepted, anything it decrees is permitted and quickly becomes routine.

We, the U.S. consumer, with a manifold propensity for consuming the homogenized, easily accepted the bogus claims of Secretary Powell speaking before the United Nations. We accepted our governments declarations of huge stockpiles of Iraqi WMDs even though, now that we control Iraq, we cannot find them. We accepted making Iraq children quadriplegics for the greater good as defined by the same people that lie to us daily. We are sheep. We are Good Americans.

Hes dictator of neither Country, any more than FDR was Dictator of the US. Tell me something Bush will be out of office in 09, then who will you blame everything that goes wrong in the world on?

You're kidding. If Bush were dictator of the U.S., he would have had John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Harry Reid, and many, many others beheaded long ago. (including you).

He will mess up there too. He, one would say, has that magic touch to turn things into garbage.

In Greek mythology, King Midas is popularly remembered for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold.
In America King GWB will be popularly remember for his ability to turn thing into garbage (or ashes).
