The power of popular domestic outrage at a behemoth state shouldn't be underestimated. In this country, it provides fertile ground for what soldiers and Marines back from Iraq and Afghanistan are telling us - the ugly truth that our President and his supportive Congress and corrupted judiciary can never say and will never admit.
Domestic outrage and honesty from the battle lines are creating a binary weapon powerful enough to bring down whole governments. At a minimum, it isolates our political parasites and deprives them of political energy, mobility and security. |
