There you go again with your contradictorily examples! Bush is Republican while JFK was Democratic. In addition, it took more than "one-man" to send us to these wars! Are you implying America is a dictatorship? If your looking to point the finger and blame someone for these wars, find out whom OKâd the buck! One man's ideas don't start a war; it takes a nation of willing individuals to start a war. Unless, of course, youâre implying we have no choice or perhaps live in a communistic society. Those who opposed had their peace rallies but apparently, most of the nation thought the war was justified for I don't recall any political movements to overthrow the government in either of these incidents. Why are you trying to compare tyranny/racism to political ties in your recent posts? Moreover, how do you justify calling any of these parties lines tyrants? This I'd really like to know!

Hey, blow me with your pedantic semantics that circumvent the argument for the sake of pulling hairs.
I don't recall ever implying JFK was other than a Democrat.
No, we don't have the power we think we do - the world, as well as the majority of this countries citizens, was against the war. The Bush administration did NOT have the consent of Congress, nor the consent of the people. There never was a formal declaration of war and the use of force that was granted by Congress came with qualifiers whereby the Bush White House had to first: expend all possible efforts for diplomatic solution and second: produce evidence justifying an attack. Neither ever happened.
P.S. It'd be a more Democratic Union if it was Communist. The so-called Communism Russia suffered through wasn't true Communism because in that case the Bolshevik's took the publicly shared land and industry that was won by the revolution (they took private lands and industry for the proletariat) and turned it not into private hands but into the hands of the state.
P.S.S. A Soviet was a village where all the people shared all things in common. Shove that in your pedantic pipe and smoke it.
