Surely after Bush's escalation and now a new provocation, Americans must see that he's got to be removed from office before he further threatens world peace.What does he have to do before your people take strong action?P.S.

It seems to me this is something really significant. Ordinarily such a thing would be far-fetched and unbelievable. Tragic how folly of a certain intensity and demeanor have become so natural a course.

We are indeed like the creature in a pot of water that is gradually heated to boiling - the creature is unaware of his peril until he is boiled to death. Little by little the American people have accepted situations and conditions that once would have led to rioting in the streets. The cunning of the "masters" is such that even when we are apprised of the increasing heat of the waters, we largely ignore it, and soon it will be too late.
