Many Mountains to Move

There are just days when you read the news and see why a Dennis Kucinich presidency will make a huge difference to the way we live on a day-to-day basis. I can begin by looking at something that is very important to me and to anyone who feels the threat of war and the advancing drums of the Cheney/Bush team making it clear just how loud and long a boom of war they are about to commence.
Remember Shock and Awe the two dummies of the last military disaster? Remember the way it not only terrified the Iraqis but us too? I remember lying in bed on the night we went to war with Iraq and knowing full well that the whole Cheney/Bush team was lying to us about the WMDs and the fact that millions of people had marched all over the world and it had not stopped what was going to become and has now become the worst military disaster imaginable.
Let's pray to God that this next war can be averted by getting many more of the congress to stand up to the two psychotics in chief and help them let go of the controls. The military which had sworn it would not go to war with Iran--where is it these days? And no amount of marching in the streets or banging on pans will stop these mad men.
How do you stop them? Some kind of legal straitjacket would be a good way to begin. We definitely know that they are certifiably insane and need to be pulled back from the abyss where they are taking us too.
Do you remember the film Dr. Strangelove? Remember the cowboy on the rocket at the end? There is the perfect image of our president at the end of his term in office. Don't let him fool you that he wants to live in Dallas and run a peace institute. He just needs to be institutionalized and then we can all breathe a bit deeper and more safely.
