[Chewbacca]

We asked for it. More foolish American foriegn policy and the taxpayers are stuck with an ever increasing and yet to be disclosed war budjet.

I hear in the news that local first responders like firefighters and police are being laid off in communities across America and hiring freezes are in effect while we are planning to pay off Turkey for a war we are starting that only makes the debt grow huger and nothing Bush or Powell have said or shown justifies it. Many of those communities were promised federal funds by the great new Bureaucracy of homeland defense and have yet to see a dime.

It almost makes me wonder if Turkey's, Kuwait's and Isreal's security is more important to my goverment than my own. We will see what the people think in 2004, that is if anyone can untangle the web of paranoid militarism and disregard for common sense and diplomatic compromise. It won't be coming from Bush.
