by the failure of their 'cakewalk' scenario, the neocon ideologues and their

authorize the invasion and adamantly supports the US occupation." New
Democracy invites disgruntled Nader supporters and all antiwar "third party"
candidates (Labor, Socialist, Conservative, Libertarian, Green, etc.) to join
the call for a boycott this year of the US Presidential election.

"I look at the roster
of candidates, and I read what they do not say, and I think we're in big
trouble. For one thing, nobody is saying that they will renounce the usurped
power of the office to make war. Nobody is saying that they will renounce the
usurped power of the office to rule by executive order. Nobody is saying they
will repeal the Patriot Act, or disband the office of Homeland Security. Nobody
denounces our military occupation of dozens of foreign countries, or promises to
bring our troops home. Nobody denounces the police state so carefully crafted
over decades in the District of Criminals." |

This interview in

Morris accepts this premise, but unlike many others who accept it he is brutally
honest about its implications, both in the past (as he is famous for writing
about) and in the present and future. [John Spritzler] |

"Bush As Hitler?

is the absolute corruption of the political system and of the two parties that

swamp. To rail about Bush as Hitler is to blur what should be the proper focus." |
