Democracy and Tyranny American Style

People will probably complain that when it comes time to vote they must choose between the lessers of two or more evils. And it's basically true, because no decent person would willingly desire to be in charge of this country that is run by and for greedy, corrupt corporations and individuals. Instead of democracy, it's the Enrons that put candidates in office, and it's the GEs and Halliburtons that tell us how to live everyday on TV. If your own politicians whom you support don't care about the American people anymore, why should I? Almost nobody seems to care about me anyhow. It's not like there is anything inherently good about the American people. We were just lucky enough to have some wise forefathers who realized what democracy should be and how we could continue to live like a free people. But, we haven't much lived up to that calling ever.

If the Iraqis ever really get a choice and become a real democracy, they'd most likely kick the US right out of their country. They might even join together with Iran and other Muslim countries in the region and forcibly eliminate any remaining occupying troops from what they call their holyland if those troops happen to stay that long.
