AMERICANS COMMONALITY WITH IRAQI CITIZENS

The citizens of Iraq and America historically have allot in common. As I thought about this post it troubled me just how much is history and how much is current.

Historically, we were both imperially occupied at one time.
We were both valued for our resources.
Both held rebellions.
Each suffered civil war.(concurrent for Iraq as well)
Each country had attempts by foreign nations to divide them up.
Both nations are strategically located.



Currently, we both suffer from a disappearing middle class.
We both have an increase in the unemployed.
Both nations have been victims of theoretical rhetoric.
Bush had a weak constitution written for the Iraqi's while at the same time weakening our constitution.
Both of their nations military have been decimated.
The lower class(poor) , for each nation have increased under GW's leadership.
There are less police on the streets of each nation.
Violent crime is on the increase in both nations.
Each countries majority is getting impatient with it's leadership.
Oil is at the center of each countries economy.
Oil companies dictate both of our foreign policies.
Both countries have American companies profiting from Americas invasion.
Iraq and the USA each have puppet leaders.
GW's approval ratings are only slightly different in each nation.
The authorities can search without warrant in each nation.
The authorities can eavesdrop without warrant in each nation.
The rich are getting richer in both.
Abstinence is called sex education in both based on religion.
American tax payers are funding each countries infrastructure.
American tax payers are going into great debt to support George Bush.

I could go on and on but I think any readers of this post get the message. Are we spreading democracy or are we becoming more and more like the Middle Easterners?

GW Bush is not to far removed from his Grandfather, Prescott. His business dealings helped Nazi Germany sustain their war efforts against the US during WW2. There would be no "Bush Family Empire" fortune if not for war profiteering .

As the final word I would add this: All a reasonable person needs to do is research the Bush family history to understand where their true family values lie. It's not with America,it's for profit!
