The American people are sick of these wars. If US leadership decides to start yet another fruitless, expensive war during this time of economic hardship, there will certainly be wide spread riots and maybe even a revolution.
Hey, I'm offended by that comment!t! I'm a liberal and a so called "gun nut". When a criminal breaks into my house in an attempt to rape and kill my family I know my shot gun will prevent that from happening. I've had break-ins before and I had to fight them off with a kitchen knife..which didn't go to well.
I hope I'm not stretching it but isn't it treason for members of the United States government to support a foreign government that kills American citizens? If it's not treason then what is?
You want to throw out the Bill of Rights? If you want to get rid of the 2nd amendment, why not the 1st? After all, speech gets people angry sometimes and anger leads to violence.
“Israel accuses some of the passengers of fighting back.”
From what I've been able to gather, the Israeli commandos were firing into the flotilla for five minutes before finally descending from the helicopters. I imagine they passengers thought they had to fight back because their lives were threatened. It's not even your standard SWAT raid, where the police will enter your property, break down your door, and point a gun at you. The Israeli Commandos - in this analogy - started their raid by shooting into the house before the entered.
"...Obama has condemned this attack in the harshest terms. "
True but I think we're all tired of strong statements that is not backed up by strong actions. Obama is a wonderful speaker. His rhetorical ability is outstanding. Let's see some action.
I wish the Tea Party would oppose the Afghan war on the issue of government spending..but, no, they're too busy crying about welfare and healthcare spending which pals in comparison to war spending. But on the other hand I wish democrats would oppose the war too.
And I might add that the Bush and now the Obama administration have been trashing the fourth amendment with illegal, warrentless wiretapping. I don't think we really have a b ill of rights anymore.
I want my country back from the military industrial complex. I want my country back from both democrats and Republicans - including President Obama - who serve the interests of the military industrial complex. Watching Obama joke about the drone attacks at the Correspondence Dinner made me want my country back.
As an American I have to show my "papers" several times a week. My tail light was out the other night and a cop pulled me over. He asked for my license, registration and proof of insurance. When I enrolled into community college I had to show them my birth certificate, vaccination records, and high transcripts. And there was even a random checkpoint near my house where I had to give the police officer my drivers license and answer a few questions. Sure, I feel bad for the Hispanic population with this new draconian law but this "show you papers" police state has been going on for a long time.

Yeah, Bush and his senseless wars. I'm sure glad Obama hasn't escalated the wars. Oh, wait.
I wouldn't say that the democratic left is penniless. Doesn't George Soros fund many of the Democratic Left's websites and groups?

Will Obama continue to increase the drone attacks in Pakistan? Whether it's Iraq or Pakistan dead civilians is all the same.
