Yet More Politics

The saddest part of all this isn't that Bush misrepresented the justification for war...although that caused us credibility, our surplus and lives.

The saddest part of all this isn't that we alienated our allies around the world... although that may take years to repair.

The saddest part of all this isn't that attacked a nation for the first time in our history without provocation.... although that has destroyed our credibility and reputation as a peaceful power.

The saddest part of all this isn't that people are still being killed... although that is the ultimate sadness for their friends and families.

The saddest part of all this isn't that we have squandered the national treasury... although that will take years for us and our children to repay.

The saddest part of all this isn't that we have allowed Corporate Criminals to prosper... although that has hurt retirees and small investors who trusted the system.

The saddest part of all this isn't that we have raped our natural resources for profit and allowed the destruction of our drinkable water and breathable air... although the effects will be dire and long lasting.

The saddest part of all this isn't that we have created a divisive atmosphere where rage and hate prosper....although that affects our lives in many ways.

The saddest part of all this isn't that our jobs are outsourced for corporate profit at the expense of the American Worker.. Although without a job based economy we are destined to devolve into a 3rd world economy.

The saddest part of all this isn't that economic measures are making it harder and harder to get a good education.... although the future costs are incalculable.

The saddest part of all this isn't that we do not provide affordable health care so some of us are forced to choose between food and medicine... although that is an embarrassment that we are the only industrialized country not offering universal health care.

No, the saddest part is that there are still those that think this makes sense.
