The Bill Arrives for a Free War (by Deepak Chopra)

McCain wants us in the Middle East for the next 100 years. What's even creepier is that McCain thinks that Shia Iran is harboring Sunni al Qaeda. He's said so publicly.
That'd be like gay urban Episcopalians having a bake sale with rural Pentecostal folks. It's not happening.
More or less McCain's bought into the Bush plan to go against Iran and ignore Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I guess FOX news and the GOP media machine could blame everything on al Qaeda and anti-war liberals. But as far as I can tell, another war is gonna require the participation of Republican rural and suburban offspring.
Obama certainly isn't perfect, but at least he was against Iraq while running for Senate. He took that stance when the majority of the public and Hillary Clinton were eating out of the hands of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush.
It's certainly time for a politics of CHANGE.
I'd like to know why all the folks in government and the punditry that supported the war still have their jobs (and why folks are still listening to these nut-jobs)? If the average worker even had 1/10,000 of the error in judgment we've seen in Iraq, they'd be terminated.

I like the idea of hope and positive outcomes. Form every failure there is usually something greater to happen. And that is Barack Obama as President. That is a start. I do not agree with Mr. Burns comments and see a person that thinks half empty vs half full. Basically Mr. Burns discards all efforts from Jesus to Ghandi. The answer is LOVE!

Mr. Bush unfortunately, has been the worse President, I recall for many years. This administration has created havoc inside the US as well as outside. I am referring simply on the RESULTS we are experiencing. RESULTS always harsh but always fair.

We need to change and I am looking forward for the near future and envision a much better world and healing. IT IS POSSIBLE,,,The fight is actually over.. a new start is coming.

If love could conquer all the atrocities that America has endured, it would have happened a long time ago. If your belief is such that you have faith that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and to show us love is the path to take to avoid conflict. In the Old Testament, we are told an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The New Testament says basically we should turn the other cheek. There is no way that we would be here today if that was truly practiced. Unfortunately, this is not the belief of all mankind that inhabitat this world. If all mankind believed the same, then it would be possible.

Wars and conflict have been here since the beginning of time. America is hated but loved for the very reasons we are hated. Being an eighth generation American, having lost so many of my forefathers, I would love nothing more than to see a world without war. I don't wish to lose another human being to death in war.

Words of promise spout forth from every polictical candidates mouth as to their ways for change. Each candidate states what will get them elected hopefully. Not to say they at some point don't believe what they say, it is just usually not feasible. To say and to do are not the same. I am not a party person. I vote for the individual candidate and not the party with which he or she is affiliated. I try to make my decision based on the lesser of all evils provided in the candidates. Using that terminology only has a form of expression. Not to say they are evil. No one candidate will ever fit the full requirements of an individual's belief unless that individual has no thoughts of their own.

I have heard Obama's statements for the need for change. I agree. Now, I would like to hear what his plans are in how to make these changes and what the changes will be and the rippling affect of his changes. I must confess, I do have a problem in that he is a first, second generation "American" as opposed to his opponents or myself that have lost many forefathers in fighting for this country. I have not heard him say his personal feelings as an American and what he wants "in the future" for this country. It disturbs me that Obama has such lack of respect and such disregard for the American Flag, our stars which represent our states and stripes of our original colonies. It is a personal affront as it should be to each and every American.

WHAT ARE HIS CHANGES, and WHAT AFFECT WILL THEY HAVE ON OUR FUTURE.
