The View From Russia
This jumped out at me through the glory of Google news: Kerry seeks new tactics on war in Iraq, while Cheney prefers destruction!
Cheney needs to understand that military force does not always solve conflicts and a more sensitive approach does not have to mean a soft option on terrorism. His comment "Those who threaten us and kill innocents around the world do not need to be treated more sensitively. They need to be destroyed" is a good example of a man who is not prepared to explore all the options.
Now, we all know that Dick Cheney's Alive, but even the Rooskies have realized he's also over the effin' top.
If you wanna do something to get a more sane international posture going, get involved in this election. I know some of you have been considering it, and I've gotten a lot of kudos for doing what I do from friends and family, but the truth is that if it's just me it's not enough. Many of you will have to step up in some way (there are tons of options! ask me if you need help!) if we're really going to get things working right here in this country again.
If you've ever considered becoming politically active, now is the time to go for it. Who knows; it might even be fun.
