Let's be honest once and for all.  We don't elect presidents, only commanders-in-chief. 

at the end of the day the majority of Americans are essentially war-willing

Commander-in-Chief of this mythical "Free World" we have self-determined to lead.

we seem to go along with those in our midst who advocate world dominance.  One gets the feeling at times that we might be afraid that our feast as glutton-consumers might cease without this predatory foreign policy.

If there is one thing that defines us as a people, as a nation, it is our unwillingness to impeach Bush.

Only a grass roots level denunciation and excommunication of the neocons,

will allow Washington to formulate a necessary policy of détente before our nation can be trusted by the world at large.

A new administration without the prior cleansing of the president's office

will be seen as more of the same – an unrepentant and unashamed continuation of empire

But that's not who we are.  Or, at least, let's pray we are not.
