It’s not the President or the Vice President’s decision that we are going forward in Iraq. We the people. Seventy percent of the voters have already cast their ballot. Dictators control the will of the people. Maybe America removed the wrong dictator from power?

In 1776 the American Declaration of Independence declared that government derives its Just Powers “from the consent of the governed.” We the people. A republic.

Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolph Hitler in Germany are good examples of democracy turning into a dictatorship, war, death by millions. All in the name of democracy. Cheney said it correctly, if they just kill enough of us. Your son, your daughter, not his. Each making tons of money off this war at enormous expense of taxpayers’ money and lives.

Cheney likes to shoot people. Put him on the front lines. Maybe he will get an attitude change. Administration from start to finish has introduced nothing but death and destruction. We are slaves to politicians.
