...that this country has gone wrong since the year 2000:

1.  Whether you like Michael Moore or not, you have to admit that George W. Bush amazed the world by taking a month-long vacation barely into his first term.  He didn't have time to read or heed the warnings blaring from his own classified briefings.

So 9-11 happened without a hitch- pulled off by a bunch so disorg anized that they almost missed the plane. The only people more disorganized than them was us.

2.  The United States of America pre-emptively attacked a sovereign nation which posed no threat.

And to launch this illegal war the government lied to the world and the American people.  Repeatedly.

3.  During this pigeon shoot, the United States of America let the artifacts of the beginnings of civilization, as we know (knew) it be destroyed.

On purpose.

4.  The United States of America suspended citizens rights via the "Patriot" Act.

They want to make it permanent- and they will.

5.  The United States of America began the systematic rounding up of "terrorists" (any young man of middle-eastern descent) and imprisoned them indefinitely without any rights.  They couldn't (can't) even see a lawyer.  Why?

6.  The United States of America defined "torture" to allow the United States of America to torture people.

7.  The United States of America tortured (tortures) people, in violation of every law of God and man.

And even after Abu Ghraib still, to this day, engages in torture.

8.  The United States of America hid (hides) "ghost" detainees from international relief agencies such as the International Red Cross.  This is documented.  What is there to hide?

9.  The United States of America now engages (successfully) in systematic efforts to quash free speech. The Bush administration admits to paying Armstrong "Uncle Tom" Williams a cool quarter million to get their false messages out.

10.  The United States of America now has state run television (the Fox network).

11.  The United States of America now prosecutes and jails lawyers (but only lawyers they don't like).

As Kurt Vonnegut might say "and so on..."

This is our country today. 

As we threaten Iran, is it any wonder that North Korea is acting up.  We better be careful- they just might lob one at us.  What have they got to lose?
