Significantly, Tilly emphasizes the damage that civil war can inflict upon the democratization process. "Civil war brings a shock to any regime and generally reverses all three of the master democratizing processes; it breaks ties between public politics and trust networks, writes categorical inequalities into public politics, and establishes dangerously autonomous centers of coercive power." [p. 179] Thus, as Iraq descends further into civil war, pronouncements by Bush and the neocons about a democratic Iraq become just so much more manure.

"Manure" also accurately describes Bush's pathetic description of the Green Zone's suicide bomber. "There is a type of person that would walk in that building and kill innocent life and that is the same type of person that is willing to come and kill innocent Americans." [New York Times, April 13, 2007] Oh yeah? Simply imagine the number of patriotic Americans, who might give their life, in order to expel foreign occupiers from their towns and cities.

Finally, consider how hypocritical and morally depraved a person must be to criticize someone else for killing "innocent life," after having launched an illegal, immoral war of aggression that has taken the lives of some 3,300 American soldiers and, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives?

Your stupidity and incompetence, Mr. Bush, are becoming the stuff of legend. Like Willy Loman's, your sales pitches no longer persuade and are now viewed to be acts of desperation. And, as a self-proclaimed "born again" Christian, who supposedly receives guidance from God; you possess all the "moral clarity" of a guttersnipe.

Granted, you've yet to be removed from office, so attention must still be paid. But, mainly to record your crimes for posterity and more definitively demonstrate that you and your irredeemable Vice President were always lying, warmongering frauds.

"Green Zone"

Your article: click here
states that the Iraqi Parliament is located within the Green Zone. This is not true. The portion of the GZ or International Zone was turned over to the Iraqis in 2006. Please update/correct your story.

Always impressed ...

I am always impressed by Mr. Walter C. Uhler's writings.

Bravo sir, again.

However please do not put old Willy Loman in the same class as bush. Willy never sold bullshit. I would have bought from Willy. The times out grew Willy, but he never lost his honor.

little george doesn't even understand the concept of the word honor, other than it's a word to exploit. (Jessica Lynch - Pat Tillman) and like the "... nothing but a God-damn piece of paper," (w's description of the Constitution) asks himself, "How can this benefit me?" If g. w.'s mother died tonight, his first thought tomorrow would be ...

The fact that someone this craven, and one has to take into account the millions that STILL think God really does speak through this dry-drunk monkey of an excuse for a humane-being, so it's NOT just him ... and they have most of the weapons at THEIR disposal (scary, isn't it?) ... well, it makes me wonder how things got this far?

Walter C. Uhler? If you could just answer this for me the next few drinks are on me.

But please, yes, people stopped buying from Willy not so much because he sold crap, it's just that they could get what he was selling without the crap. Like traditional newspapers losing to the Internet, Willy lost his job selling newspapers.

little w doesn't even read the newspapers ... and he's never sold anything but crap.
