[DEBATE] : Re: why Rummy should not resign

[Dominic Tweedie]

Even more succinctly put by xymphora:

Groundhog Day
Every day I wake up and hear the same things:
* Bush is going to fire Rumsfeld
* Cheney is about to resign
* Fitzgerald will indict somebody other than Scooter
* the neocons have lost their power in Washington
* American troops are going to be withdrawing from Iraq
* the Republicans will do badly in the upcoming elections
* the Bush regime is going to be replaced in a military (or here) coup (you
know things aren't going well when Burt Lancaster, rather than Kirk Douglas,
is regarded as the hero in 'Seven Days in May').
I've been hearing some of these things for five years.  What is common to
all of them is that Americans are hoping to be saved from some great evil by
the actions of somebody over whom they have no control.  In each case, a
fairy godmother is going to come down and do what Americans are apparently
incapable of doing for themselves.  Even the election hope depends on the
crooked voting machines all catching fire on the day of the elections.
Isn't it time Americans took a cue from the French protesters - and, by the
way, why do I keep hearing that France is in a terrible mess and on a rapid
decline when it is one of the most productive countries in the world, has
the world's best health-care system, is probably the best overall country in
the world for human beings to live in, and has enormously better prospects
than a certain big failing country I could name? - or even their own
immigration law protesters, and make themselves heard in a way that can't be
ignored?  The fairy godmother isn't coming, and Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, the
Republicans and the neocons are just getting warmed up.
