"It is time to end this dialectic of death and offer a better way"

brent budowsky is calling for george to send poppy and the big dog on a listening tour of the middle east, and to accept that the american people drew a line in the sand this past november 7...
In December of 2006 the United States stands on the brink of a historic miscalculation that could translate a catastrophe in Iraq into a region-wide conflagration, even more deadly than the status quo.

[...]

We should be escalating the search for peace, not stirring the winds of war.

[...]

It is time to end this dialectic of death and offer a better way.

[...]

If the President announces what he appears to be poised to announce, which would be a new escalation in Iraqi without any credible policy for peace in the Middle East, or regional talks including Iraq and her neighbors, it would be a disaster for the United States and for both political parties.

[...]

It is Kafkaesque and Orwellian, as though the American election did not happen, as though the will of the voters does not matter, as though the commitments of candidates in both parties the day before the election mean nothing the day after the election.

[...]

This must not be a debate between one way of war versus another; between which terms of escalating bloodshed we will choose; or between a policy of no hope, versus a policy of timidity continuing the carnage.

The American people have just voted for a whole new and better way. The American people are right, and await a leader with the courage to lead.

thank god there are people out there who still haven't lost their minds... my question is, what is it going to take to change this disastrous course and return our country to some semblance of sanity...?
