Speak Out 7/2/09

No revolution

I'M not worried about a revolution from the 2.5 million Americans who aren't getting a TV signal. If they couldn't prepare for the switch in four years, I doubt they could organize a revolution.

Leaving Iraq

IF Iraq descends into chaos and anarchy after we withdraw, remember that the Bush administration negotiated the withdrawal agreements and that the Iraqis insisted that we leave. The dream of Bush and the neoconservatives that Iraq would usher in a spread of democracy as we know it throughout that part of the world was an abject and tragic failure.

National morals

I just don't get it. We praise those celebrities who have recently died and they make headline news, but nothing is said of the U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan this week. Where are our morals in this country? It is sad when anyone dies, but enough is enough.
