attack country crush democracy event great kings majority man obsessed order people power today using war
Democracy is not one obsessed man using the power of kings to attack another country in our name. Democracy is not siding with Ariel Sharon, a war criminal, in order to crush Palestinians. Democracy is this great event today representing the majority of the people of Great Britain.
war games differences
There is no War on Terrorism; it is The Great Game speeded up. The difference is the rampant nature of the superpower, ensuring infinite dangers for us all.
war vietnam laboratory
Vietnam was as much a laboratory experiment as a war.
war reading two
Two increasing themes which appear to dominate our listening, reading and watching lives are propaganda and 'national security', or manufactured war.
jobs war opportunity
The attack on Iraq has been long planned. There just hasn't been an excuse for it. Since George H.W. Bush didn't unseat Saddam in 1991, there's been a longing among the extreme right in the United States to finish the job. The war on terrorism has given them that opportunity. Even though the logic is convoluted and fraudulent, it appears they are going to go ahead and finish the job.
war america people
During my lifetime, America has been constantly waging war against much of humanity: impoverished people mostly, in stricken places.
dream war party
The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies — socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor — and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food.
war terror war-on-terror
There isn't a war on terror, there is a war of terror.
brother war writing
Orwell is almost our litmus test. Some of his satirical writing looks like reality these days. When you have someone like Cheney who talks about "endless war" or war that might last fifty years, he could be Big Brother. You have Bush incessantly going on about the evil ones.
children war support
If those who support aggressive war had seen a fraction of what I've seen, if they'd watched children fry to death from Napalm and bleed to death from a cluster bomb, they might not utter the claptrap they do.
quite
Quite frankly, they just haven't been doing anything lately.
future gently perhaps restaurant suggest wish
We gently suggest that perhaps they may wish to go to a different restaurant in the future.
change developer looking
We're not looking to have a different developer or to change anything. We just want to get back on track.
bush contains truly
It's very clear that the Bush Administration is out of control. It contains some truly dangerous people.
