I am deemed a radical because I believe that partisan politics should be left to the wayside when hundreds of thousands of people are dying for a war based on lies that is supported by Democrats and Republican alike. It amazes me that people who are sharp on the issues and can zero in like a laser beam on lies, misrepresentations, and political expediency when it comes to one party refuse to recognize it in their own party. Blind party loyalty is dangerous whatever side it occurs on. People of the world look on us Americans as jokes because we allow our political leaders so much murderous latitude and if we don't find alternatives to this corrupt "two" party system our Representative Republic will die and be replaced with what we are rapidly descending into with nary a check or balance: a fascist corporate wasteland.

"A 19-year old Swedish human rights worker had her cheekbone broken by a Jewish extremist in Hebron today.

Earlier the same day at least five Palestinians, including a 3-year-old child, were injured by the settler-supporting extremists, who rampaged through Tel Rumeida hurling stones and bottles at local residents ...

Tove Johansson from Stockholm walked through the Tel Rumeida checkpoint with a small group of human rights workers (HRWs) to accompany Palestinian school children to their homes ...

One settler then hit Tove on the left side of her face with an empty bottle, breaking it on her face and leaving her with a broken cheekbone. She immediately fell to the ground and the group of Jewish extremists who were watching began to clap, cheer, and chant."

Ten things you can do to stop the war. Peace Rally in Kingston 11/04 (pictures by Jeff Green). Hudson Valley Peace Brigade. List of US war dead. Pictures from the Iraq occupation. Whether it was the French in Algeria, the English in India, the Spanish in South America, or the countless colonizations that have occurred over the millennia, history teaches us that the only way peace gets a chance is when the occupation ends or when genocide is committed to eliminate the native opposition.
