History

[woodface]

allisnow posted this on her lj. It saddens me. I'm no specialist on the interbellum but this is sounding very familiar.

The quote shows a complete lack of history. The mess was created by the US in the first place.

And yes, let's abandon the UN. Very good suggestion. Leaves us right before WWII when the League of Nations fell to pieces because US didn't want to take a roll in it.

Frightening what a complete lack of history can do to the world.

What bothers me is the way the people who oppose Bush keep getting blasted as unpatriotic, when to me dissent, (and the right to dissent,) is the most American thing of all, or it used to be...

That's not on topic, but the attitude of some people that might makes right bothers plenty of Americans, too. Bush seems to believe firmly in American Imperialism, which is jaw-dropping to those of us who think that's over 100 years out-of-date. He also believes in the right of the upper class to rule the lower, all according to who has the money, and that's *very* anti-American to me. His popularity is baffling. *prays for Kerry*

His popularity is baffling.

It's scary. And while he wasn't actually elected the first time, if he is this time, it will be a sad statement for all of us.

The guy and his politics scare me. amilyn said that the situation in the US is reminding her of the interbellum, something I can not really judge from here. It was while discussing the League of Nations earlier today with Robert and then suddenly seeing these anti-UN remarks that things started to connect. I really don't like the resemblance.

I frankly don't understand how anyone can support him. Perhaps Kerry isn't the best candidate to run against him but Bush... Ack. If he'll have his way, he'll be standing in Iran next and instead of fighting terrorism like he claims, he's creating new bases for it.
