Obama's War?
YOU WOULD THINK that american conservatives, also known as republicans, would be all in favor of an attack against syria; aren't they the ones who are always willing to pull the trigger? Or do they simply enjoy bloated military budgets...and you would think all liberals would be against an attack on syria, but obama isn't. In fact, he's in favor of it. Of course, it could be argued that obama is not a true liberal, but just another political corporate operative. But it would seem, at least for the moment, that the masses of common people all over europe, as well as in america, are going to shut down any hope for war with syria by voting against it in great numbers. And that might signal a new epoch in human history - when the masses of commoners actuallly rise up and, using the power of direct democracy in the electronic age, take control of their own collective destinies, and become, in effect, their own government, for the first time ever. Maybe. Or, over the next few decades tyranny could reign supreme across the world. It would seem that making war against the dictator in syria and removing him from power makes more sense than removing saddam hussein from power, so of course the conservatives favored the war against saddam, led by a republican president, but oppose the idea of a strike against syria, because the leader is obama. And so be it. So goes politics.
