Guest Book

So Rick. you feel safer now that Reagan, single-handedly (Gorbechov nor anyone else had anything to do with it) brought down the Soviets. Got news for ya. You sure ain't. We may have been enemies but at least the Soviets had control of their nuclear arsenal. What has happened to that massive amount of WMDs since Mr' Reagans victory? Still feel safer? As far as our war on terrorism under Bush it is astounding. We are attacked by Al Qaeda led by Osama Bin Laden. We know that these were the people responsible. What do we do? We declare the first pre-emtive war on another country in our history. I read, I believe in Richard Clarke's book (and I agree), this would have been exaclty like declaring war on Mexico after Pearl Harbor. Why can't you face it? Bush's decisions have been wrong and have had disastorous results. He will take no responsibility, admit no mistakes or do anything to change our direction. I keep hearing the question would I feel safer with Kerry or Bush as our commandeer-in-chief? First off I don't think that this is at the top of what our national debate should be right now but I would feel safer with Bozo the Clown than George W. Bush. If we are attacked by another terrorist cel who knows what country is going to pay the price. He fianlly said recently that he has realized that terrorism is a tactic not a strategy. this war, if it is to achieve any results, must be fought by an internationally cooperative group of nations that will train and put people in the fields infiltrating the cells and finding out what is really going on. This is not a war that can be won (in fact Iraq is proving that just the opposite is true, these terrorist groups are recruiting much more easily now that we have invaded an Arab nation) by invading countries. Check his resume. Why does anyone feel that this misguided fool could protect us from the Bowery Boys much less the spreading threat of terrorism? He himself has told many of his advisors (many have left or been asked to leave) "Don't tell me what reality is. We are the empire and we make our own reality. You will be studying my reality in the future." Really scary stuff. And Rick, after a long debate with you on several subjects, I have to say that, although I appreciate the fact that you enjoy the music we play (we'll get back to that subject in less than two weeks, this one is so important I believe that it must dominate the American conversation until it is settled) I have come to the conclusion that we are intellectually incompatible. I will call you no names, but I do not like a single position that you have taken on any of our subjects and the tactics you used on one of them far exceeded the boundaries of civility without the benefit of empical knowledge. Write all you want. This IS my last response.
